   Mike partnered with MAS Epoxies who sponsored the boat and helped with the rebuild project which began in late 2007. The major rebuild including new framing and bulkheads, reinforcements, new shaft placement and other modifications required for the new power plant. The boat needed new cowling and a new driver capsule in addition to some cosmetic repairs. By December of 2008 the major repairs were finished, the primer coat was on and the equipment installation began.    Now in June of 2009 the boat parts have been painted with only final assembly and testing left to go. The boat is scheduled to race the Indiana Governor’s Cup race in Madison Indiana July 4 – 6.    Mike told us that he previously used [popular competitive brand] epoxy for his boatbuilding and drag racing applications. Now he uses MAS Epoxy and will never go back. He finds the 2 to 1 mixing ratio of MAS product incredibly easy with less chance for error than with his old system. He also commented on the superior wet out ability of the product and how the slow hardener gives him lots of working time without the “boiling and smoking” and sudden gelling he experienced before. He also likes the fact that the product does not blush saving time and money. He told us that it’s clear, non-blushing formula makes transparent applications, i.e. where he wants the carbon fiber to show through, look beautiful. “I would not use any other epoxy system” Mike told us.

The site also contains an excellent chronological history of the project with great pictures and videos. |
