Rear cowling on a SST-60

[cowisl]

Hello - i just purchased an SST-60 and the rear cowling has a few cracks/waves. How much are these to replace? Should i just fill it in with body filler?

Thanks,

Don't worry about making it look good, make it run good. Even an ugly boat that runs well, people will say the boat looked good on the water.
How bad are the waves, will you be able to match paint etc. Go FAST, Turn LEFT.

Chris,
It depends on what type of boat you have on where you can replace the rear cowling. Where did you get the boat and what brand is it? Welcome to SST-60!

I have a rear cowling mold That I got from Toby. Not sure it fits your boat or not. You might ask him.

Are you racing this year Toby?

Chris,
Did you get a motor with the boat? There may be several options out there for you if not. In either case best of luck and don't hesitate to ask for help.

Barry,
I believe Toby has a new weapon in the works, I will let him tell the secret if he wants...
