Started this about a week ago after acquiring circa 10 years prior . Really nice and easy build this one from
Early 1970s . I’m planning to run a brushed 540 on 8.4 - -16.8v . It’s only 28” so will scoot with that .
Currently at the glassing stage using west system 105 epoxy.
Also thinking of painting it in period correct 1970 gulf livery like the old ford race cars .
There isn’t much info available on these boats so they must be pretty rare .
