Re: LM18
Pure insanity! Looks slick-as!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: LM18
Watched the Utube videos and you have me convinced to give it a try next time. I have both a grinder and a 8 inch 0-3000rpm polisher. I think I might try it on the polisher first. Not as brave as you
Re: LM18
Looks great fg you know what your doing. I have to give you that. After doubting you. Build on and keep the pictures coming.

Re: LM18
Are you putting a Skeg? This boat rides so flat that I would say it is a requirement. Plus it will help you track quiet a bit.

Re: LM18
Interesting, I need to think about that. I'm not sure they will have the same affect. They only go down about 1 inch and are about 3-5 inches long. They won't help you track while polling, but might be effective enough with a trolling motor. You might want a second opinion as I have limited experience with those on smaller boats.

Re: LM18
If you put a skeg on the LM18 it will interfere with the flow of water to the tunnel. It just can't be done.

Re: LM18
I'm very impressed. I love/hate sanding and fairing, and you make it look simple.
