Yup. I'm a bit nervous about that hole in there as well..leak wise is all, but glad you angled the well. It is an illusion that it looks flat. The hole is going to be covered by an access hatch. It’s not going to be left open like that. I’m sure it will probably leak a little, but even if it does, ...

I am wondering about the splashwell as well. Typically, we'd see an angle in it so water filling it exits quickly. But this view looks flat.. well, the forward esge depth looks like 12" and the aft 6"...so would have expected both to be more like 6"is all.. If you talking about the f...

Ah, that makes sense. I can see how they would lack a lot of strength without the tops on them. Seems like the tops add 3-5times the amount of “contact area” with the transom. Thanks for the tips!! Please feel free to “critique” the work in anyway, or offer any type of constructive criticism. This h...

Looks pretty good. Not sure how the knees got into the structure exactly, but keep in mind the transom is how all the loads are transferred to the hull, so you want that all tied well and able to keep the transom from deflection on top. If you have any laminating voids they can be double hole drill...

Accidentally loaded the pics backwards, but you can still see the progress, just in reverse, lol. Basically, just have to finishing tabbing the splashwell, then glass it. Also, have to cut pieces to “cap” the gap between the two vertical walls (which I plan to install pole holders there), then have ...

Hey guys, It’s been a while since I’ve posted on my progress…had a few things side track me, but starting to get back on track. New fuel tank is 100% installed and the hatch…just have to seal the small access hatch. Transom is 100% done, and has been…so, just the splashwell left. I’ve made some dece...

Dutch1, Did CL's flaring tools find their way to you? If so, are they available for me to borrow? Happy to pay postage and return to wherever. Perhaps I should send a PM also. Will do. Thanks! Is this thread still alive? I'm looking for a flaring tool myself. Let me know if it's still floating arou...

Already got the emails with the tracking. Thanks again Jeff!!

Keep up the GREAT work!! You guys are the best!!

No worries…I did it to myself. I should have placed the order last night or first thing this morning and just forgot. Anyway, thanks for getting it out on Monday. Enjoy the weekend…

@Jeff; Hey Jeff, I just placed another order for Matthew Vasil. If it’s at all possible to get that out today, I’d greatly appreciate it!! I know it’s late in the day and Friday, so I understand if you can’t get it out today. If you can’t get it out today, if you could please make sure it’s out by M...
