Some more of our work.
Steve, is that C-Flex on your website?
Nice lookin boats.
just curious what are you filling the strakes with Balsa or ? I was doing molds for P.Q. part time when i worked at Skater and they used DBF for the strakes , i could not believe it and talk about old school , but then again almost every mag i owned before the 80's had a resin and sawdust material that they used to fill the strakes .
Here is an oldie, A one piece Cheetahcat out of a 3 piece Mold system.

Another picture Only with the mold sides still on.I could not find any decent 19 MM plywood over there so I clamped like 10 pieces of a real nice 5 MM with these Pnuematic clamps we built.

Steve when you say overthere where is overthere and................ and if overthere is overthere , is it because of the cost of labor $$$$$$$$$$ and what are you mostly building ,pleasure / race / other , and what composites are you using , epoxy ,ext ,ext, ?.:)
Personally I like the SP Systems/Gurit (off-shoot of West) and CoreCell, which they own. I’ve used about everything and they are the most health conscious of the lot.
I have kinda rattled about every corner of the box in this business, Gun-boats, Race Stuff, pleasure and fishing boats. Loved every minute of it.
