Re: Sharkbait PG20
Here are the pictures I have. I'll document as well as possible each day. I'm off of work for a while so I'll try to post each day I'm working. Most days.

Sharkbait PG20
Due to some urging, I am starting a thread on the building of the Panga 20. This is my first boat build. I've worked with fiberglass on cars and have done quite a bit of woodworking in the past. I'm currently sanding and getting ready to tape and fiberglass the hull. I'll get some pictures up of the...

Re: Panga 20 Build
On a side note. I got some silica filler for the filet. I paint cars etc. and had a little mixing bucket that must've still had a small bit of clean up chemical. Either alcohol or mineral spirits. i mixed the epoxy in it and added the filler. I'm not joking....about ten minutes later there was a lar...

Re: Panga 20 Build
Given the pressure on the PG20 panels though, I'd still think that a patch or two at the bow would help. Especially with Meranti. Okoumes another story. My C17 had a panel pop loose when I got too enthusiastic on planing a radius on the corners. I had to restitch it and used a patch. I'm not saying...

Re: Panga 20 Build
You can just use filets of thickened epoxy. It should hold everything together so you can cut all of the zip ties out. Then you can fill the remaining joints.The fiberglass tabs, increase the amount of fairing. I ended up sanding most of them down which was a pain. Very nice. Thanks for the info. I...

Re: Panga 20 Build
Starting to regret tabbing with fiberglass. Sanding is tough. Please tell me when I get to the point I'm using quickfair to fair the hull, it sands easier. I am at the point to put the sides of the boat on tomorrow. What would you do instead of tabbing with fiberglass? Thanks for letting me hang on...

Where do you find distance from centerline for stringers. Wanted to quote your post so it’s easier to find. Thanks.

Re: Panga 20 Build
Back in action. I have everything cut out. I try to do my own research and not ask questions that others have asked. But……I can’t find anywhere in the plans how far from centerline the stringers are? I see how deep to cut the notches based on the stations. Any help? Thanks
