Re: Birmingham RB14
Found a trailer at Aiport Marine in Alabaster. Turns out that story about finding treasure in your own backyard has some merit.
I did a dry fit of my stringers and stations last weekend.
Then I took that apart and cut out the hull panels.
That's right. They're in my living room. Three cheers for living alone!
Tomorrow, I'll tidy up the panels on the band saw.

So here's how my dad and I spent Father's Day:
Roughly $600 in parts from Eastern Marine (dot com). My birthday present from dad was the channel steel we used to build the trailer. We got about halfway through the build in one blistering hot day's work. We're planning to finish it up Tuesday evening.
PS: Sorry for the long delay between posts. Work has been an absolute bear lately.

William, That's great. Work safe in this heat. Bill
Any chance of you making the Gautier July 12-14 meeting?

Re: Birmingham RB14
Sadly, not this time. I blame a combination of factors including but not limited to: Work, boat building, limited remaining vacation time, etc.Southern Gent wrote:Any chance of you making the Gautier July 12-14 meeting?

Trailer!
Still missing fenders, rollers, bunks and the winch stand. But I got it good enough for driving around.
Also, marvel at my poor landscaping skills.

Re: Birmingham RB14
OK. I found a problem I need help with. The drawing that shows the spacing between stations shows:
16.25" between the back station and the transom.
The drawing of the motorwell sides show this:
15". Should that 16.25" be from station E to the outside of the transom?
EDIT: Crap. It IS from the outside, isn't it? Does that mean I have to re-cut the notches on my stringers or -- worse yet -- cut all new stringers?

Re: Birmingham RB14
The one at the top shows the location measured from the outside lower corner of the transom, the other one takes in account the thickness of the transom and clamping board. It will fit.
Your stringers are correct too. There is nothing to subtract or add to any of those dimensions.
The stringers drawing says that the stringers butt against the transom, that means against the transom with the clamping board on it.
BTW, you did a dry fit and it worked, we see the pictures.

True, but that was without the motorwell sides. I've since temp-cleated those in place and its all out of whack.jacquesmm wrote:BTW, you did a dry fit and it worked, we see the pictures.

What is out of whack?
Does it fit without the MW sides?
