Bryan, I called during lunch and got a message with kids talking. I'll try and give you a call later...
Well... I am crawling along in progress in my few minutes here and there. I have now laminated and glued three layers of 1/4 Oku ply to one side for the rub rail. I still need to do the other side but if feels good to have done one side. I still am not decided on trying to figure a way to glass or make stronger the rub rail. From what I understand, this is supposed to supply structure and I would hate for it to fall apart...
Here are the latest pics of the progress...
I used Gel Magic and that stuff is like steel.... It also sets up nice and is easy to use.
Now back to building one baby step at a time...
FS14 build saga continues......

My wife took a look at the clamps on the boat and said "what are you going to do with them all when you are done with this boat" I of course said.......... Build another boat of course... I don't think she was amused....Lon wrote:I like this boat. And when done you can sell your clamps and buy a motor.

I had some in the garage already maybe 7 or so. I picked up 30 on my way home from work the other week. Last weekend I used the 30+ on the front section of rail and went back to Depot to pick up another 30 for the back half. So more then 60 but less then 70...ks8 wrote:... a motor ... home!I like this boat. And when done you can sell your clamps and buy a motor.
That's got to be some sort of record. So, how many cpf did you use?
The reason is I wanted the edge to be perfect and needed them in the front so that it would not slide up or down. It worked really well. I could have used less for the back where there is less curve but I had them and just used them as I was working my way from front to back.....
I am a perfectionist. They actually are pretty cheap clamps.
