Boat Builder Central - Builder Forums

Been getting lots of inspiration from other builders, thought I'd post some progress pics to share. I can see that finishing the interior will take more planning and patience than the hull!
I'm planning to add soles in the cockpit and forward areas, with additional center stringers to be added next.
I plan to box the rear quarters at the same height as the rear seat. I'll route the steering and control cabling along the starboard gunwale (also to be added), to simplify bends. I'll post more pics after I get the hollow stringers foamed and finish inside glassing.

Cool boat and nice pics.. Seems like it will be solid and strong.

For some reason this boat has started to interest me. Maybe I am becoming a realist on the waters I have available to me. And why I am using the boat.

I checked out your gallery. It is nice to have a visual to questions going thru the mind..

Keep us updated..

Two thumbs up, it looks great! I like the color-

Sharp.

And a good picture showing the triangular stringers and framing.

How many designs call for those stringers? Is it a smaller boat thing?

They look very efficient nice big footprint on the hull.

More progress photos, MadRus' influence is everywhere...

Installing drain from anchor locker to motorwell, under sole thet will be foamed

I'll be boxing in the stern quarters at seat height, and adding ~4-5" gunwales.


I wish I would have waited to paint the hull until I'd finished the interior work as I'm dinging it (paint scratched), almost every work session...

Thanks for the feedback folks, I can't wait to get this thing wet!

Sole addition behind anchor locker..
is now foamed....


and I'm working on boxing in the rear seat for a Tempress hatch to access center storage (after foaming remaining compartment)...


I'll post more pics once the seats are in...

Rear seat foamed and compartment blocked for hatch..
High tech clamping in use...[/img]

Nice consistency in your hi-tech clamping.... unlike this...

I just use the official Boat Builders Central weights - the twenty or so empty gallon epoxy jugs, refilled with water...
