it appears this is so secret....even I dont know about it ...yet :devil:

been on a break anywho, had to make some money for new rigging :eyecrazy:....back at it next week...there will be pics forthcoming... :lol:
 
Jeff , this is a quick mention when doing bottoms .......just remember the longer the board when sanding the area of concern the straighter the surface ....which yields to a washboard effect when using a smaller board .

I'm following so far!! :thumb:The hook in the hull was that from the rollers on the trailer?
Click to expand...

I replace most of the core on the starboard side thats the side with 1/2 inch of hook,..... i feel half of that hook is from all the weight to stick the new core, as per coopers ride article. So self inflicted, not supporting the hull from transom forward, the rollers pushed up about a 1/4 inch :brickwall:....the port side has a hook too just not as bad

Im not as mad at myself as i was, since it appears i had some hook on both sides before I started this resto...:shakehead:

Jeff note the size difference between the two boards ( face ) ................which is something that will ......really help make the job that much more easier ( machined ) giving you a straighter surface oppsed to long boarding by hand .
 
Jeff , after viewing your pics of the bottom ,and the strakes are you sure that is original with no mods added .? Just curious .................and the reason being is........ there is to much facial surface ( strakes) squared off from end to end with no scarf joint .
