Looks good Oz, but why the wide gap between each runner?

Hi Isuzu.

I think I can answer your question. The gap creates bubbels of air = lift = less friction = higher speed.
You can see about the same at the XXX-Muscle shown on top of www.mhzusa.com - just enlarge the pic, though these runners on the XXX are smaller.
Actually I consider doing the same on my mono, If only I could get some better pics of this XXX to follow.

Merry Christmas!

Woodie.

I have steps on the bottom of mine... but they're not that exagerated...

Yeah lift and less water contact, a lot of the flat bottom/mono drag boats have runners on the underside. It is supposed to also make them more stable at speed although they usually dont have the gaps my runners have.
I basically have to give the whole hull a sand to smooth out the glass for painting now.

Oz, It still a good lookin boat!!!!!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

You could always call it an 8 point hydro!

Well I had to get some colour on it for him.
Still need to sand it back again for another coat before clearcoat and finish off the top but its all there.(Although a bit rough)

Looks good OZ. The yellow will stand out very good while running. Enjoy seeing the boats progresion.

Looking better and better!!!! That's turning out to be a really nice build!!! Good Job!!!

Hi Oz,
Lookin' good.
