Thought id share my latest project
Working of the previous build and proving well so far thought id start the next version but this time instead of an all wood hull im building plugs to mould them instead
There is some minor tweaks to improve performance after studying the runs with the other F1
So far iv built the lower hull plug and getting it ready to mould,once moulded ill then lay up the 1st lower and build the topdeck directly on it then mould the top half but this will have too be mould in 2halves due to the design
There is also some changes to the center pod and canopy to make installing the engine etc easier and easier to work on im going to be doing radio box aswell for perfect fitment into the hull this 1 will be inboard version I am working on a 48" new design with a look like no other F1 for outboard
i will be doing an Ob cowl to suit to hide away the exhaust
This is the hull im working off and improved design

And here is how it looks now all coated,wetsand and polished up ready for several coats of release wax,hoping to mould it this week coming

Will update as build progresses

I do hope you realise just how many people you have upset by showing this boat.
Men up and down the country are trying to prove to their wives they they need one of these boats, not want NEED.
Men of all ages are now looking pitifull instead of strong, showing weakness to their wives, doing washing up and making tea etc.
Men from far and wide trying their best to impress to their wives that they only want to be able to buy one of these for themself
for christmas out of their own hard earned money.
How can we mere men justify spending $%$% when we have told her indoors that she dont need a new hand bag as the tesco
bags are a bag for life and well in fashion ?????
There are now Men promising to do jobs around the house that they had no intentions of ever doing, hoovers being serviced, curtain rods repaired,dustbins emptied and washed out !!!!!!! cupboard door hinges re-aligned, cielings painted, even walking the family dog armed with pocket fulls of POO BAGS :((
mother in laws being greeted with smiles not the usual greetings <*<
infact so much creeping that its beyond belief.
All this just to be able to get their hands on one of these marvels of maritime engineering.
I do hope you know your causing such misery to all the men who have seen this beast.
I myself am not a lover of the formula 1 type craft, never have been, and this is not what i consider to be a boat
To me this is a magnificent work of art, and would look absolutely brilliant in my front room.
i might just have to start believing in santa clause again and send him a letter, registered post ofcourse.

Now i know you want to race it and beat everyone O0
But just incase it dont start >>:-( <:(
ive got a couple of ideas so you dont look silly <*<
1/ You tell folk you only took it along to show just how nice it is and waiting for a part for the engine before running it. :police:
or you could always use this one and say
"the new special non cracking super paint is not yet hard enough so cant race it today" %%
phill... :-))
-

The engine pixies stole my con rod
-
Hi phil

HEY HEY HEY come on lads,thats why iv got this boat,it will just go through them now happy days,tested tonight and all is well,very well indeed,gave it a good run,so all ready for sunday.should be a interesting day, :-)) :-))
-
LOL good to hear bud
Im still messing around with mine bloody thing haha :-))
-
testing did go welland no bouys were injured in the process {-) {-)
-
That makes a change hey kurt pmsl
On another note the F1 is nearly there just finishing off a couple of bits and its ready to fire up again and check the cooling system etc so its looking promising
Too be honest im a little bit nervy not raced with other boats before and certainly not driven round bouys might end up me hitting them for a change LOL
-
whats all the talk of missiles, and hitting bouys, <*<
is this gonna be a remake of Deathrace 2000 ?
that bloke on youtube with his boat walloping the only other boat on the lake aint involved is he ?
( 2 nice big offshore boats, then bloke in canoe goes to retrive)
will the day be on video or atleast the debut of the piece of art on video.
i would love to see it go well.
phill.. :-))
-
Hi phill LOL
will try and get some vids for sure as ill be using them to study the hull and how it handles ets,this will help me to improve the design further
I have got vids of it running and is running well but still needs some fine tuning to get the best out of it
-
I think it looks very nice O0
ive seen a couple of your vids of it running and from what ive seen it runs as good as it looks. :-)
it dont look like an home build neither, more like a proper professional boat straight from the factory.
If i could build like that i would be a very happy chappy indeed,
infact 1/2 as good would be nice ha ha
phill... :-))

Cant wait to see the completed work of art, we don't have a pond big enough in Jersey to fly something that fast on. Maybe knock a couple of finance houses down and it could be done I suppose.
Good luck and I will be watching from time to time to see how things go bud.
Cheers
