The plug contines...

Well! It has been almost four months of planning, designing, re-planning and re-designing. I am finally pleased with every aspect of the design. So today I made the ultimate commitment... the plugs have started carving on the CNC!

Here we go!!


After many wave tank trials, a few small problems with weight distribution have been corrected but the most important problem showed up as as the rear walk out deck. It gets submerged when coming down off an aggressive wave more than 5' tall. Below is a movie showing the issue.




A re-design has been complete, raising the rear deck 12" and moving the rear hatch to a different location.
