    Don't you use hemostats and repurposed blood centrifuges which ARE medical equipments when working with your boats?

    Just pointing out these can be used a sculpting tool like those in the last photo.
    Ahh, Ermmm... Mmmm.

      Love seeing something different from your shop David. A nice change of pace. Will be awesome to see this in action at Groton. Hopefully the water will be clear now at the end of the year. Yet to see any of the underwater components of the camera system, although you are not done yet.

      Ummmmmm, that was a very very weird change of direction.

              Much easier to build something with the sides 90 degrees to each other. And no round sides.

                Eat it, party-boat guy!... there were fillets at the center board and skegs, or did you bother to notice?

                You people!!!

                  Oh yes I saw those fillets. And someone suggested using a very strange device to assist you with said fillets.

                          Well, almost. Bondo work was done a while back. Here I'm addressing small sanding scratches and glass weave with air-dry Lacquer based touch up putty: Nitro-Stan 2001 (nectar of the God's).

                          Then on to the black and yellow checker-board scheme followed by a red below-waterline application. Now, as this last coat of primer hardens, I work out the ESC, receiver, motor, and switch installation.
