    We are building a cold molded prototype 33' powerboat in Houston. Need wood workers, west systems epoxy laminator and glassers, fairing and painting too. $20-$60/hour

    Welcome to the Forum Russ.

    This sounds like an interesting project - are you at liberty to tell us some more about the boat that you are building?

    33' day boat style powerboat. Big main deck with 300hp outboard. But it isn't going to get done if I can't get help :)

    Is she just going to have a single 300 hp outboard motor, or will she have two?
    A single 300 hp is not a lot for a 33' boat.
    What is her designed service speed?
    Have you got any drawings that you can post on here?
    Alternatively, would you maybe like to start a new thread about your boat in the Boatbuilding section of this Forum?

    Enter your specialty in one of these disciplines: "wood workers, west systems epoxy laminator and glassers, fairing and painting"?
