Re: HMD 19 - Yoda's legacy continues

is it possible to "tent" the entire boat? I painted the hull of a sailboat i had at the time. A couple of space heaters was all that was needed to heat up the space. It got quiet warm underneath the tent and make working during the winter possible.

Re: Hickman Sled 18 Bonus plans

I have noticed it seems like most of the original Hickman sea sleds have sides that are close to vertical while most of the non Hickman designs flare out in the sides. Why is this or am I just seeing things wrong?

Re: Hickman Sled 18 Bonus plans

At this stage I was thinking that by making panels from strips that it may cost less than plywood. I also wanted to add a flare to the bow like the Tideline has. So I thought that combining strip panels for the flats areas already there but using the sheathed stip method for the flare. If there are ...

Re: Hickman Sled 18 Bonus plans

Re: Fuel Fun

Yes the "circle thing with screws " should be your fuel gauge. The other 90 coming off the tank with a the 1/2" plug should be another access point. You could try opening that and using a jump. Or you could pump it all out with the primer bulb.
