I can 3d print one for you if you have thread specs. Blue PETG or red ABS in stock for filament. Cover shipping and materials and call it even? This is very kind - thread specs says … 3 3/4-4 UNC…. Would a 3D printed one be strong enough? Otherwise there is a machine shop here that says they can ma...

Nice to see one of these getting built. Good job.

I bought a pair of B175 transducers off a friend - on Low freq and one HighWide. Unfortunately they came without the nut or spacer needed to install them. I probably wouldn’t ask this question elsewhere as there would just be a torrent of pointless comments about my sanity - but would I be mad to co...

I guess me question is “why”? I doubt you will save much time. I doubt you will save plywood. And you are probably borrowing trouble if your single side panel doesn’t fit. Aside from acting as a stiffener, the second side panel adds some aesthetics. To glue a stiffener inside like the P series strik...

1) in the frames diagram the transom BL to Keel measurement is not provided. The only values are the Chine lengths and Shear. 2) is it possible to make the transom beefed up by adding another layer or ply to support a 150hp outboard. If no I would defer to Suzuki df140 at 400lbs. it is essentially ...

My 2 cents - for what they are worth. My C19 had no skeg and a FICHT Ram 90 HP and a 3 blade aluminium prop and it used to cavitate sometimes. I changed the prop to a 4 blade stainless prop and the cavitation ceased completely and the hull gripped better in turns and the holeshot was better and it w...

You are talking to a guy who added a couple of feet to a C19 - and for me it was chalk and cheese - not only having the little bit of extra room - 2 feet goes a long way, but also I feel like the boat is better for the added length. It is rare to meet someone who says “I wish I had made my boat 2 fe...

Why not the DE25 - probably very similar build times, not much more weight and materials and probably no harder to trailer/ manoeuvre but you get quite a bit more space? And I will guess will ride a little better.

Your boat looks awesome. Love the layout particularly at the bow of the lockers. My only comment would be that you will get lots of wear on your gunwales/ paintwork from the ropes if you leave those front side cleats as they are; perhaps mount them on a sacrificial piece of wood, or a small piece of...
