hey

we will be in va beach late sunday till tuesday I will txt u or call would like to stop by monday night. talk to you later
 
Today I will be setting up the stringers. Im now at what I like to consider the fun part!!!! That transom yesterday wetting out 2 20"x17" motor or "bolt" patches under 2 layers of 1708 about whooped my @$$!!!! The layup came out clear with no bubbles so Im very proud of myself. The bubble buster came in handy and is definetly need when doing work like this. This boat is really starting to take shape and Im not lacking in motivation!!!!!
 
hey

looking good i have mine all the way apart taking top off tomorrow and begin demolition i have pics just trying to figure out how to get them from my phone straight to here
 
:head:I take pics with my phone and then send them to my email. After they show up on my email I then download them to my computer. After that i go to my thread and open up the comment or reply to thread window. Then click on that paper clip icon on the tool bar next to the smiley face. your picture download window will then open. Click browes and your commputer options for pictures window will open double click your picture of choice.click up load on your picture download window and your done.

Did I explain that right

Here are some pics from yesterday. I set the stringers up yesterday and glued them today. Notice on my inner skin on my transom the dark color glass in the middle where the motor mounts, thats because a guy off the HULL TRUTH recomended me to put that 2 layer of 1708 patch there for load purposes. I still have one more layer of 1708 to put on the transom but im gonna wait till I glass the stringers to the transom first so the last layer of 1708 kinda locks the stringer tabs in. The last picture is of the resin soaked dowels I put through my all-thread holes that I used to clamp my plywood. My next step is to glue and screw my stringer cleats on then glass in my stringers!!!!! fun fun fun!!!

Keep up the good work

Kracker:

Can't see in your lastest pics, but I assume you have weep holes aft to allow and water to drain the the garboard plug? It also looks like your center stringer aft 90 is solid. You might want to notch the corner so water can drain from either side "JUST IN CASE"

Keep up the good work!

Kamikaze
 
Kamikaze I forgot to cut my 1/4 circles in my main at the transom. I glued them down and 20 minutes later I had a ahh **** moment!!!! I'm gonna end up cutting them with my rotoo zip tool on Thursday then glass a small strip of 1.5 csm on under edge to water proof. Thanks for looking out.
 
This question is for all you structual guys on here. I was thinking about returning my glass over my cap and tie it into the outside hull down the side about 2 or 3 inches. Is this a wise move? there is a reason why factory did not glass the insert or cap or guwals to the side of the boat. I personally think if I glass the cap in this manner to the side of the boat it will be a constant flex and crack issue ultimately leading to an astetic eye sore . Any opinions would be awesome. As you can see in the picture my cap is made of wood which Im gonna laminate a nother piece of 3/4 acx to to beef it up. Im then going to band the inside edge and outside edge with 3/8 acx router all edges and then glass with 2 layers of 1.5 csm. would this be a proper schedule for this application or should I go with one layer of 1708?
