Re: FL14 trailer??
Does anyone know if a Loadrite 14F1000wt will work for the FL12? I'm new to all of this and don't have a clue. The boat is finished and is too heavy for me to wrestle into the canal at our home. If I put it on a trailer it's only a few blocks to the launch. Are the bunks adjustable for height?

Re: Maximum wait time between prime and glue
If you miss that 24 hour window for a chemical bond, what is the best way to go over existing epoxy with new?

Re: FL12 Glue for battens
Thanks for the additional tip. Drywall screws are hardened and prone to snapping under pressure. I am away from the boat during the week and won't be going there this weekend so I'm kind of chomping at the bit. This is my first and I am over the top excited!

Re: FL12 Glue for battens
Thanks, I have some torx deck screws. They're long but I won't drive them in all the way.

Re: FL12 Glue for battens
http://gallery.bateau2.com/albums/userpics/87440/normal_photo_9.jpg Thanks for the quick reply. I am building the boat at a remote location and do not have a good picture of the screws. They are driven from the outside of the side panel into the edge of the frame. This might be a dumb question. It s...

Re: FL12 Glue for battens
I will soon be gluing the frames to the hull. Two screws were driven through the side panels into the framing. As I replace each glued up frame into the hull I am going to need to replace the screws because the pressure from the sides wants to "pop" the frame up from the hull (mostly the b...

Re: FL12 Glue for battens
Thanks! I used a couple of brads for the remaining frames instead of clamps and they seem to leave more of a gap. I can't believe how hard the epoxy glue sets up.

Re: fl12 seat top line
I had the same question. The mid seat and transom seat have to line up but the bow seat does not seem to have the same specific location. I was just going to snap a chalk line using the point where the transom, mid and bow frames all line up.

Re: Tom S' FL14
Where did you get the seats? My better half says she needs a back. Nice job!
