Boat Builder Central

Due to weddings, work, illness in the family etc. I haven’t been able to even work slowly on the boat for some months. In May I fitted the sole and glassed the bottom surface of both pieces ready to install. My problem is that the small forward piece of the sole developed a slight curvature from sid...

I just put it on my calandar. Maybe will have operational FS18 by then. Seems I'm 20 months into a 6 month project.

Not going to make it. Cancelled my res at Clarks today. Daughter just engaged so its meet prospective inlaws time. You'll probably understand that my calendar was not taken into consideration.

Looking forward to meeting you'all next year.

I don't see my name on the list. I signed up ( Thought? ) in March . I have FS18 under construction. I had hoped to have it operational by the meet but it is becoming unlikely. I still plan to attend and have reservations.

I think McClain might do all galvanized for a little less. The trailer's are custom. I understand you can order with drawings, b...

Sunday afternoon, I set the knees and "tacked" the stringers on my FS 18 with EZ fillet. The EZ fillet is still somewhat soft and just a little tacky on the boat and in the mixing container after 54 hours. It is possible I messed up the mix but I thought it was good and the mixed color see...

I'd like to reduce the gunnel width to 4" to allow more walking room in the cockpit. I seem to recall this being discussed and "OK'd" in past but I could not find it. If this is ok should I add aditional reinforcment to the gunnel to assure stiffness? If so where? Thanks for the help.
