Boat Builder Central

I looked through, but did not see. Are there study plans for this, or a scale drawing? I own the FS17 plans but it seems these will be somewhat different.

Thanks.

As I said, if somebody commits to build it (and buy the plans), I'll produce a center console version. I'm late to the game here, but I have thought about this for some time now. Tossing up the idea of trimming down the sheer of this boat and throwing on a CC. I would commit to plans for sure, and ...

Its a couple months off, but you will.

Good stuff!!

Great looking engine... better looking smile!

ok

Tach and fuel. Speed is useless. Use a GPS for speed. An hour gauge is nice too, for break in.

What the brown decking material on the boat? Is it carpet or paint? It doesn't really look like either in the photo.

That's old Mako brown gelcoat. Used to be on all the floors. Beautiful.

I've been through this. If it was me, I would just leave that old console on there and build myself a new one. Once the season was over, I would swap the old with the new. That said, if you really want to fix the old one, you are going to have some grinding, glassing, and fairing to do. the hairline...

Looks great, and so does the boat! The bow and ends look good, from the pix.

Now, get out there and put those fishing poles to good use.

My buddy was jumping tarpon down at Egmont today.
