Sintes 21 Rebuild

[Eric1]

I had not thought of using that space in the gunwales so now I have some thinking to do.

Been working on the deck/swim step for the transom. Here is where I am so far. It is made of 3/4 nidacore.

Years ago I had an 18' Boat that had storage in the gunwales. I was thinking about doing on my C21. It's a handy way to stow plastic tackle boxes.

Yep the stopping and thinking part has always been the hardest part for me But at least I got lots of it as kid while riding the short bus

Fuzz, I really like NidaCore!! Great stuff!! Jeff

[Fuzz]

Jeff I like it also. The only problem with it is finishing off the ends if they will be seen. I got a plan and we will how it works. This thing is going to be a true composite boat. Glass hull, plywood stringers and transom, nidacore decks and maybe foam cabin. not sure about the cabin part yet

Nice Fuzz!!! I really like the use of honeycomb and foam!! Really nice stuff to work with!! Jef

I hope you choose foam. I want to see how you go at it.

Like Cape Man said , put some tilt outs in for tackle boxes .

Hey TopWater do you have something showing these tip outs you were talking about? I like the idea but sort of lost from there.

Maybe TV hypes it up but I would not walk outside without a .44 mag in the least if I lived up there.

I used to carry of 44 but I upgraded to a 500 smith a few years ago. It makes a 44 seem like a 38 special. Shocking part is it does not kick much more but boy does it hit harder.

I may have to upgrade, I love large bore handguns! I like to deer hunt with them. I hunt dense thickets mostly. Shots seldom go more than 80 yards.
The boat work looks great, What temp did you finally go with on the foam?

Eric just a little info for you. In looking over the inventory from my dads gun shop I found a 8 3/8s 460 S&W. I had a good friend who said he wanted it so we took it out and shot it. It kicks about like a hot 44 or just a little more. Not too bad at all. My Horniday book says you can safely get 1900FPS with a 240 grain bullet or 1600 with a 300 grain bullet. That would make it a flat shooting round for hunting.

I aint Topwater, but here's the idea. You can easily make them.
