Boat Builder Central

The ugly edge is easy to fix with an epoxied on veneer. That said, I think your driver for the decision needs to be the "requirement" not the look or comfort in building. If you NEED the lightest possible boat then you need to seriously consider the foam core. If it really is about providi...

PM me some links and I’ll look into it.

What's currently in the space under the cockpit sole where an inboard would be installed? Has there been one in there at some stage? The "void" (that's what I'm calling the sad place where once an Atomic 4 resided) currently houses two improperly mounted house batteries and chargers. Ther...

Thanks cape man. One “method” of wiring that seems excessively popular here is running on large ground wire to a buss bar in the bow, and on aft.

You have a couple options here.... 1. Bookmark the topic in your profile (that will take extra clicks to fin...

Thanks all. I've been going back and forth on electrical. I've been thinking of running as much duplex type runs from the breakers as possible instead of using the "ground trunk" method. The small size and wide open space makes it super easy for me to pull the duplex. Also, the duplex ensu...
