Sorry but the ashes have been a long time coming.

Does anyone know of a source of pictures of the 1994 u9 Miss Exide? Thanks

Planning the build of my 84 Miss Exide using Newton plans 162D. Could do with a recomendation on the turnfin to use. Plan to use a speedmaster 90 hydro rudder and strut. Am leaning towards making it up as a fun boat and putting a Zenoah g260 in it. Can any one recommend a turnfn a mout that...

I'm buying a set of Newton plans 162D the 1994 Exide twin wing. Are there any sites out ther that would give any tips on costructing the boat. Thanks

Just a quick note to say thanks to all that answered questions re painting. The boat has turned out much better than I expected.

I am about to paint my whilpash gas sport hydro. Will be using aerosols for this. I have applied 2 coats of west systems and smoothed this by dragging a blade over the surface. I have tins of filler primer, primer, paint and lacquer. Planning on a couple of coats of filler primer, rub down...

For those that have not noticed, there is a nice build being recorded in Russell Bear's gallery Squire Shop Construction: https://www.intlwaters.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=103 So far looks superb. Brian Mahoney

I don't seem to be able to track down CorosionX in the UK, has anyone tried Worlwide Aviation ACF-50 Anti Corrosion Formula The following is an advertising claim I have seen for it. Brian Mahoney

Was following Preston's post and must say I found it interesting. Some usefull but distracting stuff in the other posts as well, many of which have been edited out. I think a seperate topic ,such as this one, for any discussions around the original post would be a good idea. A 68+ mph SG...

Just like to say a public thanks to Brian Balzer. Finally got my Whiplash Sport 40 on the water. Water was a little choppy but the Whiplash coped with this no problem. Seems like a very well designed and balanced boat. A few times it lifted out the water, probably 6 -10 inches clear, but stayed...

I'm drawing up plans for my latest sport 20 hydro and was wandering what the pros and cons are of having some anti trip built into the righthand sponson. I have two sponson designs I am considering for the righthand sponson running surface. The first has the running surface horizontal right to...

Anyone else seeing a"Hacked ny NgoQuangDung" instead of International waters inthe title. Also references to Tom have changed to Cau Troi. Hope its not tooo much work for Tom to sort out. Brian Mahoney

I've been trying out a few props on my sport 20, fitted with a Speedmaster 21 hydro strut with the following results. x440 with this prop the boat runs very well, pulls away from launch very cleanly and is very stable. I am getting cosistent speed reading of 42 and 43 mph 1440 lauches with...

I am just beginning to experiment with CAD using TatalCAD 2d-3d Does anyone have any advice on drawing curves, TatalCAD has Bezier, Spline and freehand options? I am wondering how to go about drawing a curve for the decking of a hydro so it starts from the transom and touches each of the...

I have completed my sport 20 but for a cowl. Can anyone tell me how to go about making a plug. Brian Mahoney

I'm pleased with the finish on the epoxy of my sport20. I don't think I can spray paint or fuel proffer anywhere near as good so was thinking of just leaving the hull covered in two coats of West systems. Will it stand up to fuel or do I need to paint and fuel proof? Brian Mahoney

Has anyone used a Futaba S3305 servo, I have one I might use for the rudder on my Sport20. Standard sized servo 0.2 sec /60 degrees 8.9 kg-cm torque on 6 vols Specs look good wandered if anyone has any experience of these. Brian

Heres a couple of pictures of the Whiplash inspired sport 20 I am building.

I have drawn up some plans for a sport 20 based on Brian Blazers Sport 40. I've made the boat 29 3/4 long and it will be powered by a cmb 21 (the red headed model 2 versions before the longstroke) I will be running this boat just for fun as we don't race this class in the UK. Anyway now some...
