Try a welding supply house. The ground wires for MIG/TIG welding are in that size range.

Sorry, I didn't realize that was an issue. When running these things I've found myself hanging all over them. Especially when getting up on plane I am usually waaaay forward until the bow settles down on plane. Lower center of mass is definitely better. You can also google "rev sticks" to fine tune ...

Little Hydros are not designed to sit "on" them. Get rid of the seat and get a thin pad to kneel on. You move your body weight forward and aft and side to side to adjust handling on the fly.

I am building a Crackerbox which has 2 plywood laminations on the bottom. I will be using my nice square drive silicon bronze screws for the final fastening. All the holes are drilled to depth in the sheers, chines and battens with the appropriate taper point bit. the holes are also pilot drilled in...
