Hull after turning, scrap wood
is stored inside. I need a bigger shop. |
Partial frame attached. Curved
shape was cut into the plywood, then a panel bit was used to cut the 1x6
to the shape of the curve. beveled sides were cut freehand on the table
saw, and touched up with a power planer. Still some gap, but wood
flour/epoxy will forgive a lot. |

Opening is 4 inches wider than
was on the plans, I couldn't find the dimensions for the opening, so I
guessed. Hopefully this won't cause to many problems, but the designer
doesn't respond to my questions about |
Rear hatch partway done. Note
the four inch extension on the front (back got a 5 inch one). this is to
bring the opening away from the cockpit, so the lid will fit on. it... Bar
clamp is to take out a slight bow in the cabin bulkhead. |

Step deck in place, note
fillet next to cabin. this is to prevent water from standing in the joint,
and getting into the glue joint. |

Lessons learned:
1) 9 adults can pick up and role over a pretty big boat
2) Everyone notices that that boat is bigger than the door, and
wonders how you are going to get it out. 3) Boat
designers will answer questions about their boat, much more than you would
expect with a $30 set up plans. Don’t annoy them with questions about
every detail. 4) When using oil based primer,
ventilation is an important word to remember. |
Small helper fits in the floatation
chamber. |
