Panga 22 Slow Cooker

Nice PapaDave!!!! Jeff
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
After a few weeks of body contortions, salty language, and brute force, the Panga has taken its final shape. I used Meranti plywood and a lot of kerfs but she was stubborn. Setting up this boat on the strong back takes patience and multiple trips to the store for beer. I ended up using two straps on the inside to pull the chine area into stations B and C and the rest of the stations followed along. Any more pressure and the sides would lose their natural fairness so I came to a good compromise with her wishes and let her be. Next step is to round over the edges and glass away.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
I think everyone has said the pangas are hard to bend into shape but it looks like you won the battle. It sure looks good now.
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
that’s some solid problem solving right there!
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Good job on getting her fair, she really looks good. Hope you didn't buy out the store of beer.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Our relationship got off to a rocky start, but we have been getting along pretty well recently. Prepped the hull for glass and did the seem tape and bottom cloth in two sessions. I was planning on one marathon day wet on wet, but my back disagreed with that idea. Keel, rub rails, and spray rails are next and then a lot of fairing in my future.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Don't look like there will be much fairing involved at all.
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
If only that was the case Fuzz. Lots of fairing ahead. I got the skeg installed (160 inches long, 1x1.25 Southern yellow pine) and both rub rails attached. Been pondering the spray rails installation and should get to that this weekend.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Your work looks neat enough to me that it will not be too bad fairing. But that all depends on the level of finish you are after. I lean more to the work boat side and not the work of art some of the guys build. I love the works of art but then I would be afraid to use them
