Ok got ya, yup we are on the same page. The mold resin I'm using is best if degassed. And too the silicone rubber for the actual casting. All the boats I've worked on have already been joined. I could use some miniature hands!!!! Tuff reinforcing the seam on a 36" cat hull!! Speaking of I did get the maddcatt out a few times this summer all twice because I broke flex shafts. Punched it too hard , it's not user friendly, lol. Did hit the triple digits both times. But no fast runs.

You don't think triple digits is fast!! You may need to back off sniffing the acetone fumes. When I see that smooth water in the background of your pictures I wonder why you don't have a boat each time you go there. I can give you a tip on glassing those seams on a boat if you need it.

Nothing off topic at Great Dane ,,,,, lol!! Modelman this is a link from a couple years ago on the saw build of the madd Catt. I forget what my top speed was, I think just shy of 120. But not proven with pictures. She can run reliable 90-100 anytime decent water. I've got to get back to running her. We do play with the pursuit monos quite a bit. Set up an oval corse for summer till high water takes um .

I've shared your video when you ran 102 mph with many friends and they all just love it and were amazed.

Thanks, I really have to spend some time with her in the water next year, I built her for speed and to stay together. Hull has not been compromised yet, and been airborne several dozen times (at speed) so this one is doing no justice as a shelf queen. She would look better with a split hull if she has to live on the shelf!! So come next year I'll keep trying to go faster and find her breaking point. Usually the saw (straight-a-way racing) boats don't last past a couple 100mph+ crashes. She is heavy but heavily reinforced with carbon/Kevlar to take a few long jumps,,, and she has. !!
