Sorry Jacquesmm it won't happen again, my intention was to only get more folks to veiw it, not waist anyones time.

After I posted it on my build thread I decided to also post in the power boat section because I knew that it would most likely be seen there.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, and don't worry I won't be giving up over a small issue.

I'll get some pics. up and keep you posted.

No worries D2Maine, that was definately my mistake.

I'm in boat building mode, I was trying to get as much coverage as I could. :lol:

Alright, it's time for an update.

I attempted Round #3 on Thursday night and it was a success :!: :D

Here are a couple of pictures to help explain, the first picture was taken after Round #2.

On the right side of this photo you can just see the rear midseat frame location(the picture is taken of the side panel) . Notice that it's flat on the jig, but following the picture to the left moving aft, you'll notice the frames progressively rising off the jig. The transom ends up about 1 inch high.......Not Good. :help:

Image

We got it right after Round #3. :D
The next picture is the same as above, but with the last three frames flush on jig. Much better.

Image

This next picture is the forward midseat frame, it's about 3/8 of an inch off the jig.....I can live with that. Thanks Larry.

Image

Next, I measured my diaganols (left rear of transom to right side of bow/right rear of transom to left side of bow) I was 5mm out so I mounted a couple of braces to hold the bow to within 1.5mm. Good enough. :wink: Here are the braces.

Image

I wanted to dry fit all panels and then glue the hull without having to take anything apart, so I used stiring sticks as spaceres to accomplish that.

Image

I then taped oneside of the gap with tape.

Image

and then forced glue from the other side all the way to the tape.

Image

There you have it.

I'll be working on the rubrails tomorrow after church and I'm attempting all three layers of the lamination in one session. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the advice with the bottom issues guys and thanks for visiting this thread.

Daniel

Daniel -Great !!!!!!

Your bottom is more flat as mine - I learned it the hard way (with problems).

But I solved it a little different.

I'm sure your boat will plane perfect ! :wink:

Bye
Bernd

Thanks guys.

Things came up this afternoon and I wasn't able to work on the rubrial today. It'll have to be my Tuesday night project.

Bernd, if my gf looks half as good yours, I'll be proud. You're doing a beautiful job and Larry, your direction was more helpful than you know.

Until Tuesday,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

during my building I got some ideas and changes in my building -easier and with less effort and less time for it.

The changes I would made are:

- one hatch in the middle of the rear seat and mid seat
- I would buy a hatch - wide enough to put a fuel tank through the opening
- I would install my pump box in a corner of the rear - never in the middle - because of space

If you follow these hints you save a lot of time - my hatches ......a waste of time :doh: (...every day we learn more and more).


Bye
Bernd
