Building this one to replace the Bratz I-Box... daughters keep giving me a hard time when I race it... "Don't break it daddy!!!" :) So this will be mine. :drinks:

Looks like you are off to a great start. One thing is this boat needs down slope on the front deck. Anytime I would get mine up to speed it would blow off. Then I hit a turtle and tore the bottom up pretty bad. Got another one I am building with MAJOR mods to the bottom and top. If she runs good she will be a plug for a mold.

Looks great! I am actually at the testing phase with mine now. So far seems to run awesome. If we can get some good weather so that I can go shoot some video I will post the review shortly. Here's a pic of the finished boat.

I just started building the same boat and am new to c-box's. What strut and trim tabs did you use? Thanks.

I made the hardware myself on this build, but you can use stuff like Speedmaster or Topsecretboats hardware.

For Speedmaster stuff I use the SPDR-012-DULBA Rudder assembly which meets the 4" limit for hardware off the transom. For strut you can use a skeg strut if your organization allows it...(here we race under D2 Classic Crackerbox rules, so no more skeg strut and no more turn fins on transom). For the trim tabs, the only place I know of to get the BIG ones that work best is Insane Boats. Again though, check for rules in your area if you race...we can no longer use the bent over tab here in D2. Here is a link to the Insane tabs...they also sell a complete hardware kit on the site: www.insaneboats.com/index.php?...d2e79eb6a4ad66a

:cheer: Nice build. I bet the young ladies are happy you won't break their boat. (yeah, if its anything like my family you have lost your boat (Bratz) to the girls now you have something else like it to run).
