Daniel...I drew out my clamping boards tonight based on the motor well sides. Just checking in before I cut all three out. Mine measure ~9 1/4 from motor well cut to bottom of clamping board. Sound about right?? Thanks.

Thanks guys...I really appreciate it. Now I can cut in confidence. It's nice to have these forums to bounce things off each other. Thanks again.

Steve, not much progress for about the last month or so. Im ready to go on the jig, still havent made it up on it. Had a busy September to say the least and the first couple weeks of October look no different, however it wont be much longer and I'll be moving on the FS again. Your build looks to be going well, really looking like its going to be one heck of a boat.

I'm getting my jig together FINALLY!!!!!! I'm up to frame "D" on the jig, finding a few mistakes i've made on my molds and having to correct as I go, better now than latter. Now I'm taking a break and looking at some pics of other Fs17's making sure mine looks somewhat the same. With luck I'll get some panels up on the jig within the next few days.

Take your time Daniel, it's well spent now as the jig determines how accurate your layout will be.You'll be suprised ( I was) how quick the panels go on.
best of luck'
Steve
