Hey Brian
This is ware I got my initial Information from for vacume infusion www.aerovac.com and they placed me onto the Australian agent (FGI International) to purtchase the raw materials. Although it looks high tec it was suprisingly very easy to do as I can substitute alot of fittings from what was reconmended to simple garden hose fittings instead, this bourght the price right down on alot of the desposable fittings.

A good tip in mould relesse I use a liquid wax called TR-920 simply wipe on then wipe off no elbo effort needed and the hulls just fall out this is an Amerecan product and my supplier has to fly the product in

Haw are your tunnels going?

It semms as though i will be coming to Autralia next Dec for a little over a year. I will be working in Williamtown for your military. Vacuum infusion is a cool process messed around with it a bit when i was in the service. How much are one of your hulls?

Hi there Bilzzard
for a hand laid boat for around 55 to 60kg $1100.00 AUD or vacume infused hull and deck 40 to 45kg around the $1800.00 AUD mark. The model you see is the old one I am currently working on a 13' model that will suit between 25hp to 50hp as I can make the weight to suit the hp and the wings at the back are wider for more lift. This will have a brand new deck like a semi capsual with a removable rear cowling.
Thanks
Damien

What type of engine and prop are you running?

**Damo** · 06-22-2007

Hi Tom
Any stock 2 cyl is fine but we mainly use Tohatsu because of the gear box ratio. As of last year many of us use a Merc 10 x 18 chopper but cupped and thinned but now a few of us have orded the Winrace props from Norway. Very good prop but still working on the set up , trim etc
Cheers
