Boat Builder Central

Looks good. I believe the hardest part about any boat building project is starting it! Way to go. Looking forward to seeing your build. Next time you come to Savannah, let me know. I live 40 miles south of Savannah, 7 miles east of Hwy 95. Would love to meet some other boat builders. Glad to take yo...

After a week off from the boat build due to a series of house guests and a big party I'm glad to be back at it. Sanded all of the fiberglass tape seams in preparation for putting on a layer of 12 oz biaxial cloth. Got the cloth on one side tonight. Will do the other side in the morning and the botto...

Those push pole holders look great. Pretty darn good for your first prototype.

Looks mighty fine!. Congratulations on a job well done. Best wishes for many happy and productive days on the water.

The dust is a real problem. After vacuuming the big piles I open the garage door and blow out as much as I can with a leaf blower. But there is a fine layer of dust pretty much over everything in the garage due to the two kayaks, the canoe and now the FS 19.

Thanks Jeff. Got two layers of 12 oz biaxial cloth on the transom this morning.

The batteries were just to hold the cloth in place as I wetted it out.

Thanks Topwater. Another view from the front, taken this morning before sanding the seams in preparation for fiberglassing the bottom.

Got back from our short cruise this afternoon. Was able to do a little work on the boat. Sanded the keel seam smooth, and filled in a few gaps in the seam with EZ Fillet before covering with two layers of 12 oz biaxial tape. All the outside seams are done now.

I hope when I get to painting that it looks half as good as yours!

Did a bunch of sanding on the seams to round everything over and then put two layers of fiberglass tape on the bow seam and one layer of tape on each of the chine seams. Will do the keel seam next week when I get back from our trip.
