Those upper panels did you customize them to a higher bow? looking great
Re: C19 - flipped and have now added upper side panels
Topwater - no problem flipping the hull, just made sure everything was well "spot welded" in place and I reinforced the bow where the bow eye was and just used 3 pulleys to slowly rotate it using the bow eye as the pivot and 2 transom eyes at the back. I didn't reinforce the sheer or anything. The hull does have "lifting strakes" so is quite stiff and held its shape well.topwater wrote:Tom the boat looks great Did you have any problem flipping the boat that way ?
I plan on flipping mine the same way this weekend. Was there much flexing or twisting
of the hull ?
Re: C19 - flipped and have now added upper side panels
I added about 3 inches to the original panels at the front end and tapered them to the original lines at about half way... I have now shaved quite a bit off though.peter-curacao wrote:Those upper panels did you customize them to a higher bow? looking great
I will see how it looks with the molds out and some floorboards in to get an idea of cockpit depth...

I gotta say, I really like the look of the hull before you added the top side panels...

Re: C19 - flipped and have now added upper side panels
I'm thinking it would make a great inshore boat without that top panel, never thought about that. I wonder what it ouwld save on the BOM to build without the extensions

Are you both pulling pork? those customized upper panels looks great! if you're both serious in the remarks you made I think you both lost taste in the progress sorry about thatCracker Larry wrote:I was thinking the same thingI gotta say, I really like the look of the hull before you added the top side panels...
