Do you figure the extra 100 pounds or so (I think that is what I calculated 3/8 UHMW on a 1448 to be) to slow you down much?Ranchero50 said:Atatchment method is probably going to be stainless machine screws into 3/16" angle or flat stock welded to the strakes and the side junction and have the UHMW bridge across it. The strakes are right around an inch high and 8 inches apart, leave the back open so the water will run out on launch, maybe drill some angled holes 1/4" diameter so it'll drain faster. It should plane fine and run as skinny as before if not better. I'm not 100% sure about around the intake though. I know I'll have to make a new spoon out of UHMW and this'll give ma chance to build a ride plate for the pump.
It sounded like a gun going off when that rock caught the trim tab...

'Bought the same price as standard UHMW, at least from the places I've found.Ranchero50 said:This is what I want to use, Tivar dryslide, a UHMW that we use at work in a part of the folder that I redesigned because the teflon strips kept wearing out and straight UHMW was wearing and marking the signatures as they came through the folder. This stuff wouldn't mark and has been in several machine for over a year without any wear.

The bad is it's around $600-800 for a 48x120" sheet of 3/8 material.
