Twin Warpath Rigger in the works...

Here are a few pictures of the new Twin Warpath rigger I'm working on for Will. After a few failed attempts, I think I have it pretty much worked out. We'll see once it's all done.

Bulkheads are all interlocked with the center rail. Like the single Warpath, sides are slotted for the bulkheads and the latter are dowelled into the sides. My intentions are to make the tub as flex-free as possible, which in my opinion is a major problem with some of the side-by-side twins out there right now. More to follow as I progress.

* disregard the mismatched pipes... lol

Hope your adding at least 8-12" in OAL of tub ?
Should be an interesting projuct for sure ..........
Are you increasing sponson size as well or using the same as your single ?

lookin good Marc. Have you figured out what you are gonna do for the top so the port engine carb is covered, but still able to be gotten to for priming?



Scott... gonna try the sponsons off the single boat first. If they dont work out, then will have to make some wider ones. But comparing the single sponsons to the sponsons on the hurricane twin, they should probably work fine.

Scott, tub is 4" longer. 8.25" wide. We want to try with the same sponsons first.

I'm thinking a drop-down flap in front of the starboard engine will work good to cover the port engine's carb. As for the starboard engine's carb, it will be a carb shield.

here what i was thinking... blocks on the tub sides set down (kinda like for radio box).. then lower the center rail. Then just make a plate that covers that entire area that is just taped down... what ya think?

something like this


of course this is something i could just do myself with some lexan.

That's pretty much the idea Will. All 3 rails have matching height at the front so the drop-down cover will lay evenly across.

A few more pics... Tub is very stiff and complete hull (sealed) came in at just over 7lb 2oz.

looks simply awesome, Marc. Cant wait to see it in person
