With summer here, work on the Viper has slowed. Progress is being made, just haven't updated the thread. Still doing mock-up work on the rigging. Received the tube adaptors and got the holes cut for them. Also acquired the 2" flex tubing that will go with them.

Rear light and cleats installed in the splashwell. Glassed in bulkheads to mount the paddle and push/pull pole to. Put them in a position so that they so they could be grabbed quickly....All the seat mounts got fabricated and installed also.

Found some nice switches for the trim and jackplate. Had some hardware made to get the helm in order. Mounted the kill switch too.

Go to the beginning of the thread and check out the video of my hydro race. It will be the same combo.

Fuel tank mounts are finished and all the fuel lines plumbed. Arranged it so the primer squeeze bulb is easily reachable from the cockpit.

With open stringers, and no subfloor, water that gets into the hull will be sloshing around. Made a baffle that mounts in between the inner/lowest stringers to help collect it in the rear.

Plumbed and mounted a 500gph bilge pump to get rid of any water in the bilge. Will be manually operated from the helm.
