Hey I just saw this Zeta https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/241704030485721/?media_id=0&ref=share_attachment, man its in nice shape:)

I think I would be willing to swap/trade my Hourston for this Zeta, I have heard good things about Zeta'a as well...

Can you put a dual prop on a 280 leg or does it have to be specific from manufacturer 280/dual prop because of gearing etc...?

Is there room to add a bigger fuel tank on the 24 Zeta by chance?

Looks great! It's really starting to come together. Do you roll the gel coat on or spray it?

My Princess Auto sprayer is pretty well pouched :) so just rolling it on in the cabin and deck, most of it will be covered up after all the windows and furnishing are installed, lol

Looking great! See that Yami package for sale by the member?
Nope

Edit:
Yep, great package but I will need a 300 min, a 350 would be sweet :)

There is nothing sweet about a 350 yammy imo has to be one of if not the worst motor ever built

I agree Bryce, the 350's had a bunch of issues flywheel etc... Sry, I was referring to 350 Suzuki :) hah
