Strakes
The Super Sport features turning strakes on the
bottom. These help the smooth bottom “grip” the
water when the boat turns, minimizing slide.
These are necessary for the hull to turn, so don’t
skip this step.
The strakes come precut, but must be rounded on
the front.
The strakes are marked. These marks will be face
down when they are glued in place.
Sand and blend the front and rear of each, so that it
blends into the hull.
Do not glue in place yet.
Mix up about 2 ounces of finishing resin.
Use the 2 inch square pieces of glass cloth and
reinforce the deck to transom joint.
Stick your head in the boat to see what you are
doing.
Use the rest of the resin to seal the radio box (inside
and out), as well as the strakes (ST).
Do all sides of the strakes.
The radio box and strakes will need a second coat
after they cure. You can use excess resin from
sealing the outside of the boat.
Be sure to always scrape or sand between coats.
