Awesome! Out of curiosity what “style” of carbon fiber do you use? Looks finer or smaller than the typical 2x2 twill.

Lavey Craft took the boat out for the first time yesterday
Being that this is the first single engine #6 setup that they have ever done they took it easy. They didn’t have any solid references to know where to setup the X dimension so it was set higher than they felt was necessary because it’s much easier to space the drive down rather than going up.
For the first water test everything went perfect! There was zero handling issues that are common with a single surface drive setup running a big cleaver. The only issue they had was the prop was too high so the slip was high and couldn’t get the speed out of it. They are now working with spacers to find the sweet spot. I’ll post updates as they come!

Its even better looking in person. Boaters have to see it in person to see what I am talking about. The pics are good as well but like I said in person is even better.
