Boat Builder Central

It's looking really good, Larry. I'm really enjoying following your build.

Looking good, brother. You're going to be on the water in no time!

Has anyone tried using a thermocell?

Thank's, Noles. Your boat is looking really good, too. I've been working a little at a time. I glued in the live well floors, and walls. I'll get those tapped, and then install the insulation, cleats, and remaining walls. These fish boxes sure are chewing up a lot of plywood. I'm not sure how yet, b...

Been working a little at a time. I have the sole glued, and glassed, and been working on framing projects from front to back. The floor is 3/8" meranti, glassed on both sides, with 12 oz. It is very solid. I picked up some fiberglass from St Pete, that doesn't have the extra stitching. It stret...

Thanks Gary.
It's fun to spend time with our daughter too. I just hope to get this boat on the water by the time she's old enough to drive it!

Jacques and Larry said I didn't need to fix that little amount of rocker and Jacques said it is actually designed into ...

Thanks fellas. I actually mixed some epoxy yesterday! Man, how I've missed the smell of Marine Epoxy! I sanded all of the sole cleats smooth, and coated with one coat of epoxy. Today I sanded all the runs, and drips, then I took inventory of what I need to order from Eboat, to get this girl rolling ...

Hey, thanks Glossyblack. She's tucked away in the garage for now. My daughter was born on Dec 22. I paused the build, so I'd have plenty of "just in case" money. And since then, I've really only been focused on trying to figure out how to be a dad. All is well with both, her and mommy, so ...
