Please see detailed descriptions here

Ok, maybe inaccurate, but sounds about right :mmph:

:lol: I dont think I took a pic of the 6 inch screw that was poking through the bottom of the hull. It was holding in one of the seat bases.

Good entertainment.

Re: My project, 74 Ebbtide

So you came out of hibernation!

Lookin' good Den!... are you going to pour foam through the deck?

Re: My project, 74 Ebbtide

Yea I only come out when it nears 60

The foam is one of the things I have thought long and hard about. Being on the budget Im on, I had originally thought "nahh I dont need no stinkin' foam". Then I thought the sheet foam would be cheaper and easier, then I read a forum post on the subject (by oops I believe)and thought, "swim noodles"? So anyway, I have researched it till I was blue in the face, and saw the legendary video of the sinking Lund, and have decided to just get the 2 part foam from US Composites and do it the "right" way. It wont take as much as I had first thought, and that actually works best because its not something I need to do (or spend on) right away.

Re: My project, 74 Ebbtide

Things are coming along.. dry fitting stringers, was concerned about leveling things but it all came together well.

My audience...

Iven been gone for a while and am ready to start working on my boat again. I need to build a cradle before I remove the cradle again. I was just looking at your pics and noticed that the stringers left & right are supported and the bottoms aren't touching. matter of fact the bottoms are not cut to the angle of the hull. can I do the same and just fill the bottom of it with PB? ive been wondering how I was going to be able to cut the bottoms in an angle to make it fit but if I can fill it with PB then lay the stringers on top of it then it wouldn't matter. would it?

Re: My project, 74 Ebbtide

The project is still there but was halted due to us buying and moving into our dream home in the Ky countryside! Retirement from the Army is a year away... horses and boating is in our future
The boat is now sitting in my new 6 car garage waiting to be emptied of the moving boxes it contains...

And yes, filled those gaps with PB!
