No but you can put it in one!!!
Get your gel, thin it with patchaid and put it into a touch up bottle. It's a jar that screws onto a spray can containing only air, you mix up whatever you need to spray put it in the jar and shoot it. Great for doing small repairs or little jobs like this and they're only about a tenner.
I forget the name on them I'll have a look in work tomorrow.

Well - Just got home after a days racing. Started well and managed 7 and 1/4 laps before we blew two pistons!
It was great fun but looks to have been an even more expensive day than expected!
Have to agree with Tazs post on another thread regarding Bat Boats and Phantoms if you want to win and go really fast the Bat boats are in a class of their own. It was almost like the differance between k-class and a phantom.
If you want to race get a Bat Boat those things are awsome and Sh*t all over every thing else with the same 2l engine on it.
Dont think i will be racing again. To be competitive you need a Bat Boat and you cant take your mates out in that on a summers afternoon.
Loved the feeling though despite blowing up the engine.
Short clip here more to follow: http://www.stewartwatkins.com/downloads/allhallows1.avi
BTW anyone know of somone cheap but good who can rebuild my engine? Got one quote in and its expensive stuff!

Hi was there managed 8.5 mph on the gps with my backdraft. probably dirty sat in the bottom of the tank. funny how those this always happen when your out at muster. However hats off to Ian stirling in his Phantom 3rd place and still setting it up. got a few in the batboat world to sit up. if there are any chicanes in the course like the promise Ian's gonna get a further advantage looking at how tight he can cut around the bouys. Well done to all who got out was a pretty good event. Torquay should be brilliant. TV will be there and possibly a Helicopter if we can raise some more sponsorship.

There are other ways for sure! But then again you might not want a multihull.
Anyway just wait to you have a big following sea - they don't like it up them!!

Sorrey to hear about your misfortune around turn buoy B.
Take a look at the lap times, we were 1 second behind you on lap 2 (1.8ltr - A8), I think we got passed you at one stage just before turn buoy C, but I know what it's like first time in competition.
You soon got the hang of it though, you were past us and away before to long, 26s on lap 6!
Then the big bang !!!!
Don't let it put you off ,,,,,,,,,, fix it and GO AGAIN
Good looking rig also, well done.
PM'd you re: Big Bang.

Back hurts a bit today but not too bad. Life just seems a bit slow and boring after those 7 1/4 laps of complete madness, chaos and adrenalin! Beats sky diving which was previously top of my list.

It'd be nice to see Ian 'spank' a few BB's (and multihulls) when he gets things together (in his ski boat!)
Bring it on Mr Stirling!

Nearly agree with you!
I think it would be good for racing if he is succesful. We need a few more hulls out there that are readily available.
There is certainly room for a new sportsboat in the market that could offer race and sports ability - at reasonable cost - I think?
Perhaps around 23', maybe stepped, not winged - I better get back to the computer......
