A Simple Plan!

Thanks again guys!
Mark, coming from a guy with as much experience as you thats a big compliment.
Woodie, we all know that often the simple things in life are the best! :laugh:

Sorry Oz!!! Didn't mean to get impatient, but I knew it was going to look GOOD!!! Just had to see it!! VERY COOL!!!!!!!!

:laugh: Your ok Isuzudude! :laugh:

Without pics. there aint no proof.
Need to get some more timber, I want one now but with the full tunnel!

Runners are now cut and glued, once the glue cures I will then sand the front of each pad on a nice angle.
I used 1/4 light pine ply so the whole lot weighed next to nothing.

Oz.

Help me out here.
"runners", "rails", "strakes". - What is the right term to use? (You know: I'm danish) :laugh:

In your case with a "flat cat" it should be no problem to make some lifting, as the cat should be stable itself.
For my part I have to be more "scientific" because it's a huge challenge to stabilize a 12 x 56 inches mono to go at speed above 100 km/h without wobling.
(Thats why I set up the tread "XXX muscle pics?")

So if you (or ANY other) have just a itsy bitsy tiny little advice about runners, rails or strakes for monos, you are very welcome!

Cheers!

Woodie.

Ive never had a mono big enough to need strakes, so Im not much help to you mate.

Even started on a drag cowl for it!

Oz.

"Even started on a drag cowl for it"!
- Here we go! I am danish and don't understand sh** of this. What sort of fish is a "drag cowl"?

BTW: Nice pics of that cat.

Cheers!

Woodie.

Lookin good Oz!!!!!

Hi Woodie,
A drag cowl by another name is a canopy for a drag racing boat.
Hope this helps.
Moofy

Got the runners sanded and blended in to the bottom.
Another good full coat of resin over the whole thing.
