Time for another

Oh believe me Chris  a summertime run over there isn't out of the question once I get mine done but @ 5mpg I could get to Hopetown and back with 98 gallons and a light load. And the ride wouldn't be too ba d if you didn't get in a big hurry.

Slow n steady!      Got some Tile Clad rolled in and tank put in. ~96 gal.    5200ed some 1/2x 1.5" wide strips of pvc board on the outside bottom edges and did the same on the hull side when I set it in. Four 1/4" thrubolts and some aluminum sleeves...

Makes me feel bad about my abilities, but awesome stuff man!

So the plan we came up with for this one is to lay it out like mine, front bulkhead/coffin, but with 7 hatches in the floor. 4 on the outside of console, one under leaning post, one for bilge and one large insulated one in the bow. Thought it was gonna be some full height bulkheads and casting platform but plans change...

These stringers created a drainage problem versus the bulkheads that I thought were going in so made some ramps/limber holes. (glass triangles and some 2 part foam)

Foam got bedded with some sandbags

I don't like small drains... 1.5"

1708 and 10oz finish cloth

1" Plascore layed up on one side. Waiting on some hatch rings and console to figure out the other side. It will have half round gutters ran the length connecting all the hatches underneath to drain all of them. That will run to a channel going across the transom then out the scuppers, which im not sure how theyre gonna go yet...   If that makes sense haha.

Andros console. Biggest hunk of that will be on the boat. Theres not a flat surface on this thing anywhere!    Some of the panels are dipped 3/16"!      I said WTF is up with this thing, scratch n dent ? did you glue the coring in really hot and it shrank or what.   They claim the mold isnt fair so when they slide the tower over it the mounting pads dont scratch it, then the thrubolts pull it back out flat. Gimme a fukn break!    Hopefully theres enough meat in the compass flat on top to fair it out so it doesnt pool water. Assclowns!

O thanks again to Kevin for meeting me in Okeechobee with it!

Lots of progress.    Won't be long until it starts cooling down

Looks sweet! What's the purpose of the drain being made that way?

So the garboard drain screws are tapping into an epoxy slug versus the foam transom core. Thousands of boats are perfectly fine just tapping into the foam core and outside skin of glass but i just like doing it this way, especially with a wood core...

  nice man looking good!

[HawgLeg]

Nice work DW! Console sounds like the kind of work I got from Hammerhead on the live well. It works though...

[dirtwheelsfl]

Getting all the ducks in a row to glue this thing down!

Look at you, getting all fancy on the gutter drains - sweet


Looks great. How deep is the drain trough going to be?
