Looking nice Scrappy. Been out of touch. Don’t remember to surf the Builers Power Boats section. Too bad about elk season and fires. I postponed a late September Wyoming Antelope trip early due to covid speculation. We non-residents have to commit in March to have a chance at a tag. I just accumulated another preference point and will work it out next year. Enjoy you fall boat building experience.

Finally got the hull painted and flipped. Was a little frustrated painting it. I’m not a good painter and took about 7 or 8 coats(I lost count) before I decided it was good enough and was ready to move forward. Glad that part is done and I’m moving on.

I know the feeling. Look into vinyl wraps. As long as the surface is fair and smooth they cover well, can have some cool designs to catch the eye, and aren't that expensive compared to top quality paint.

Congratulations on the flip!

The boat is looking great. Happy to see another FS19 project moving along nicely.

The whole sanding, fairing, priming and painting process is really tedious work that takes time and effort to get right, but makes you feel like the project is kind of standing still.

Now that the boat is flipped, you will get to do a bunch of interior construction work that will make it feel like things are moving again for a good while.

Keep it up and best wishes for continued success!

Good GOD Man!

I admire your commitment.

I will tell you right now that is one fine looking paint job. Be proud of what you have done. Love to see another FS19 coming together. If you need any help in selecting a prop let me know.

Planning questions

Post by Scrappy »

I’ve been doing a lot of planning for the layout of my boat. Stealing most of my ideas from the experts on this forum but I thought I’d share my plans and throw some questions out to make sure I’m not doing anything stupid.

First, I plan to install a v-hull tank beneath the sole. I will need to move the center frames on either side of the tank (D & E) out 12 inches to accommodate the tank. The size of the tank and location is such that the engine rigging will need to run over the fuel tank to come up under the center console. The current plan for the dimensions of the tank will give me 3 inches of clearance between the top of the tank and the sole. Any problem with the chase tubes for the engine rigging and electrical conduit over the top of the fuel tank?

I plan to have limber holes in all the center frames. I plan to foam all the compartments outboard of the stringers, with one exception, but that will mean foaming over/around the chase tubes. Is that OK?

To install cockpit drains plumbed to scuppers, I plan to add an additional frame, outside the stringers just forward of the rear bulkhead (F) and foam only forward of it. Does that seem reasonable?

Additionally, I plan to store the batteries underneath the center console, any issues there?

I’ve included a rough diagram below for reference.

I appreciate any thoughts anyone has.

Also, does anyone know where I can find center console plans to get me started? At one point I thought I remembered seeing someone had posted a rough sketch with dimensions but can’t seem to find it.
