Received my Popeye hydro from Ampeaterracing last week. This is my second boat build, so I am hoping to yield a higher quality build this time. It's not going to be a super quick build so just bare with me as I post updates. I have everything I need besides my turn fin at this point. Going to be running the typical 1515 with seaking180, (I might go with a swordfish 220 not sure yet), airtronics receiver and servo, and speedmaster rear hardware.

I got my main inlay done today. Using west systems 105 and 209. I definently did a better inlay job this time using west systems, and KBB's tutorial.

It kinda bothers me that I can see light through the sides of the hull, and the sponsons. Only question I have is should I put a layer down the sides of the hull, and sponsons as well? I'd appreciate some opinions.

Nice hull did the carbon fiber cost extra? I emailed them but they are not responding

Yes it's double the price of the fiberglass hull. He only ordered 4 of them, so I'm sure they went fast. You can find an artr version on kintecracing.

Is this boat NAMBA legal? It does not have a straight transom, there is a lip that protruds just for the hardware mounting area. I thought the transoms had to be straight. I know it is a small looking lip but not sure about it.

I'm just a sport boater so it really doesn't matter to me personally. But from what I have read, it is legal for p-sport hydro.

I looked at your build thread on ose, doing very nice work. How and what did you use to mount the threaded inserts for hatch hold downs?

Thanks. I used 1/4-20 weld nuts, with short pilot height so they wouldn't protrude through the lip. They're just epoxied to the underside of the lip.
