[Problem Child]

Are you keeping the blue or is she going Slut Red.

 

[paulsboats]

[paulsboats]

See you there!

 

[paulsboats]

I did get it epoxied down today

 

[paulsboats]

I did cheat and used West system six-10.... expensive but quick and no mess. tomorrow grinding and glassing.

Interesting. I think I might have gone center helm but looks like you are moving right along there. Is that a Vance hot foot?

 

[paulsboats]

I still might in the future fab up a filler for the center and move the steering. Its a TH marine hotfoot. Back to the grind!

 

[paulsboats]

My origanal plans for my dump find was to put a 5.7 inboard 2;1 Borg warner and a 24x24 four blade prop. I did build the stringers just for that. maybe in the future.lol

Your'e better off with some black on the back. Putting a car engine on there would just slow it down not to mention it would be too heavy without more of a rise on your gunwales.

 

[paulsboats]

slow going...back to the grind

Maybe some day a black motah will find a home on the back. But for now thhe white 200.00 motah works great! Do you still have that T.O.P.laying around?

Not sure how I missed this thread for the last couple weeks but glad I found it.
This is exactly the kind of stuff I love to watch -- fabrications thought out purely for the fun / needs / and wants of the individual.
I am loving what your doing to with the skiff Paul, keep the progress and pics coming

Ditto. Does anybody know what a ditto is anymore? They sure did smell funny.

 

[paulsboats]

[nathan]
