Re: fiberglass powerboat into a sailboat
thank you erikgreen you seam to have gotten what i have been talking about, my mom is a little more stubborn than me and I gave up on trying to change her mind a long time ago. I was for a while looking at an aluminum pole for the mast that my friend has and is willing to sell to me for 50 $ it is I think 40' will 30' be good for the mast? ones I tear the floor out I will be able to start building the mast support and ones that is built I can start rigging the forestay and shrouds. the goose neck for the boom I am building in auto tech on the lathe and with the welder it wont be pretty but it will probobly be the best looking thing on there. as for having a broken boat hull lying around she thinks that if I dont get it done but got the hull very cheap that I will be more likely to take the broken parts to the dump, compared to at least if I spend countless hours building a hull that dosent get completely done and not want to throw it away becouse I put so much work into it. I will be posting more pictures of my progress when it happens. probobly not until this Saturday or Sunday depends on my school and job.
