Re: Visio 2 electrical

Does visio come with wiring templates or are you making all that up?

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA

Just some more food for thought. My GW 19 had something pretty close to the rear seats you're looking for. The deck went all the way to the transom, the splash well was "floating" above the deck at its front edge, something stored under it, I forget what. Rolled up fastback maybe? The boxe...

Re: LM18 New Build

I love that first part of the build; the laying out of the lines and cutting them. Once a guy was being a bit a blow hard about a dingy he had restored and when learning my boat was being home built asked if it was a kit. Saying no was nice. We love the progress posts and the pics so glad to see th...

Re: LM18 New Build

Welcome and congrats Ryan! The LM18 is a sweet design for sure. Enjoy, best of luck and keep us "posted" on progress. Where located, and what are your plans for the boat?

Re: FS18 on Cape Cod!

Nice glass work and painting, I hope they're flying out of the gallery for you these days! That's a great feeling, going back to do something after having been through it, learned some stuff, and feel like you're doing it a much higher level. My 5th and 6th years of High school had some of that feel...

Great idea Capeman, I'll be very interested to see how much weight the uncut foam gains also.

Re: V-Berth Repair O’Day 20 (1974)

My approach: I would leave what's left, use it as cleats for the new panels, add the new panels and glass them in from above. I' d make a rough template from cardboard and use a deck of cards taped along the edges of the template to get the shape about exactly right. I'd add a stiffener under the ne...

Re: General question about closing in fuel tank - comments?
