She likes to be loaded, especially back aft. Keep that in mind while finishing your race hull.

I assume most of all the laminates were vacuumed bagged or infused in order to get the best weight to cloth ratio.
10oz biaxial was used. Many companies are reselling the product so be careful and ask many for quotes. Try Core Composites... This boat was fully infused over the wood plug.

So many variables are unknown. The main tank is 169 gal and SS. No idea what that weighs, but at least that weight is low in her belly. The forward aux tank is 50 and aluminum. Where the ballast tank was. Anyone know where the main tankage was
and if the capacity is close?

From childhood, I was always a jump in the deep end of the pool before knowing how to swim kinda guy. Shocking here, I know.

I also know I am a dyed in the wool Yankee who wanted nothing more than to be a Redneck racer. Much to my parental units consternation.

The greatest lesson I have learned here is to ask questions.

If I were to re-core my Slacker`s coffin cover now, I would use epoxy. Ok, at the very least vinylester. Hey, it`s progress right?

Cheers,
GFS

Default It's not a Seacraft, but -

We won 3rd place in the under 30' Clearwater "Holiday - Memorial" (aka. "Christmas") Boat Parade December 13th. It is a tribute to CSC member Capitan "Alcatraz" Anderson of Cape May. Do not pay attention to the refelection in the water the conditions were terrible - we had to wear socks with out flip flops and long sleeve tee shirts!!!

Terry has inspired us to decorate the boat this year instead of the house. Took her out this weekend on the river and had a great time! Here is a pic of her anchored up in the yard....
