What’s the difference between the regular kit and the extreme kit? All I know is that I’m about to take some extreme measures on the front of this thing to get the motor where I want it!

Started glueing the bottom, back of the hull on so everything stays square while I work on the engine area. The hardest part for me is waiting on the glue to dry!

What does Snell charge for the fiberglass parts? Does he have a website?

ChrisHerzog · May 21, 2022

Not sure about a website.

From his website:

“*The extreme series scale hydroplane kits include all of the standard scale hydroplane features, but add laser etched, toy tabed, precut center section floor pans, cockpit forming jigs, thinner plywood to reduce weight, so offer 3-peice design to allow the builder to do the whole build on a flat board before bonding the sponsons to the center section, certain kits have rear wing templates, rear tiplet templates, front canard framing with integrated lock system to ensure a very strong canard flap to cockpit to sponson connection, and many other extras. They truely are EXTREME!”

Thanks Rich.

SayMikey, no it’s the regular kit not an Extreme kit.

So this is where the motor is going to live! Still lots of chopping left to do to make this work but one thing at a time!

Man that is WAY down in there! I assume you are doing a belly pan underneath?

I’m doing my best to get the carb and exhaust completely under the deck. The bottom of the motor is going to be just over 1/2” above the water surface. So yes it has a deep pan under it.

From the looks of it your going to have a helmet on the spark plug boot

It’s going to be really close but if I don’t like it, plan B will be to build a saltwater intake and conceal the top of the plug that way.

New project underway!
