Another Dumb Question

[Chris Herzog]

Alright, again I'm no Outboard Person so I have to ask some dumb questions.

My boat is almost ready to go, it's a Hopper 290. I have the motor on the radio box built and set-up, the tank figured out, mounting the cowl is done, so I'm all good right?

I can figure out the flotation in the cowl but what do you all do for the hull? Does Mark put flotation in the hull before he joins them? If not, what do you do?

Yes Mark puts it in all his hulls when he builds them.

Just to have a piece of mind fill up your bath tub and dunk it in the water. You'll know if it floats or sinks. It's also a good way to find small cosmetic holes that leak which get caused during shipping or when you worked on it etc...nows the time to fill them up so water isn't constantly inside the hole when your running it. This doesn't happen to every boats, just one odd ball sometimes so I don't want any boat makers mad for this advice. It's something I practice since I've found holes in the sponsons or where the decks are joined.

Thanks for the input.
