Bigger than a trailerable.

I've looked at those designs in the past. They do have some nice lines but they are along the same build methods as Glen-L, heavy frames and lots of mechanical fasteners.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:20 pmI only point it out because he ought to build to fit his slip.cracked_ribs wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:41 pm That guy's stuff always looks really heavily framed to me, although some of his designs have pretty nice lines.

I was hoping you'd critique that hull shape more than the framing.
The plans Fallguy posted said over 300 feet of 2X4s and I counted 38 sheets of plywood of different thicknesses. To many different size screws to count. But I read on one of the forums that for one of his smaller boat the "fastener" kit was somewhere around $2500. That is a lot of screws! But I bet the boats show up good on radar!
I know I need a bigger boat. Legally trailerable is out the window, now my width constraint is my mooring slip. So, about 10ft wide and 28ft long. 30ft long is a stretch, but might be doable.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 8:14 amI was hoping you'd critique that hull shape more than the framing.
Again, only presented to get Christer to realize....he's gonna need a bigger boat....
... and to avoid the trailerable trap.
Most of his hull shapes come from the Sucher books or from the old Texas Dory plans, nothing special.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 8:14 am
