Well I am starting a build thread for the XF 20.
These are the mods but its likely to change.
1) I lowered the sheer 9"
2) I will be decking across the entire top, one big flat surface.
3) I may be adding sponsons, Iv cut a couple extra station molds in case I do. They will be short (12"-14") and used manly as steps
4) The deck/hull will be connected with an out turned flange
5) The console will be raised 10 inches or so and attached to a vertical flange, I don't want any holes in this boat ...EVER
6) Corecell / Fiberglass / Epoxy, Vacuum Injected ... I will probably be very close to spec'd weight.
7) Strakes according to what I have learned in other threads here .. will be added in one shot for best strength, Stringers as well.
The only hatches will be access hatches since I am sure to take water over the deck more often than most boats.9) Generour number or recessed cleats in decks to secure coolers, chairs, kiteboard racks etc ...
I redrew the boat on the computer to get my 22 stations and then sent off to get the MDF molds CNC cut. The rest I will cut in my space. Im attaching pictures here. Work will progress slowly since I can only do this after my real work. Have a few pics to upload ... but not sure how that works, I guess I need to upload to my own server first??
Cheers!
