Re: MAB's FS14LS

Since you trimmed the stringers, the extra layers were essentially added to the inside. So your outer layer is in the originally designed position, so shifting it down should be fine. There is some weirdness in how the deck corners meet the transom in the design, I dont think the extra layer will co...

Re: MAB's FS14LS

I added that third board for a thicker transom. as you can see, there is a bit of a gap between the hull and the stringer with the thicker transom. This results in the hull taking on concave shape. In order to remedy this i was thinking of trimming the angle off the transom so the hull sits flat. O...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

The Keys are out, btw, barring a major change. What are you're parking requirements? We roll a 24' RV with one slide and we tow the boat so we just need room for those. We're self-contained for up to a week or so as long as we can run the Genny for AC etc. Timing there would be 3rd week of march if...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

You will be coming right by me as well. Happy to host you for a few days along the way. I’m located just off Exit 67 on Interstate 95. 30 miles North of Brunswick, GA and 40 miles South of Savannah. Got plenty of room at the house or at my In Laws condo. Lots to do and see around here. The fishing ...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

Hey Yankeetown is a smidge under 2 hours for me. Hit me up if that ends up being a stop. Shoot, almost anywhere along that central gulf coast. I'll have a baby to work around, but maybe I could grab a day pass with some good graces! :lol: Hecks ya! Start earning those credits now! We're already res...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

Here's the sacrificial board for the motor mount. Its low-precision but should do the job fine. I feel like I say that a lot....... 8O 20211021_135633.jpg I was not well prepared for removing the motor and dinged the transom in the process. For the reinstall, I located the proper lifting hooks and m...

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS

Look up Beaufort SC. I've got parking, ramp access and bad company directly across from the point of Paris Island for a couple of nights if you'd like to do some inshore that isn't fully populated. Reds, trout and flounder are the big ones I get. And we have a spare room if you can stand the compan...
