We need a translation app.

He had a little mishap and got paint all over sheet 3 of his Tahoe plans. I asked if the same information is on the larger plans (I’m assuming there are larger plans), or if he needs a new sheet.

C'est dommage! Est-ce que vous pouvez voir la même information sur un des plans grands?

Ou avez-vous besoin d'un feuille nouveau?

Hi Phil, welcome aboard. You should definitely drive up for the boatbuilders gathering in September, and see some of these boats firsthand. That'll put a whole new perspective on things. It's held just northwest of Chattanooga, on the TN river. Another thing to consider is that it will take a while ...

I like Matt's cloth idea, too. Perhaps even something like a cleaning mop for a .410 might do the trick. I know I'll have to get up under the hull as soon as the flooring is on. In addition to keeping the limbers clear, I also want to clean the squeeze-out along the floor battens. This was (is) an u...

Mike, Welcome aboard!!

Not gonna forget the limbers in the floor battens this time.

Very easy job with the router.

Welcome to the forum! If you like the Zip, but want to regularly carry 3-4 people, then i’d also recommend the Malahini. It’s in every way a more comfortable boat for that many people than the Zip. The Zip is a great boat, but think of it more as a 2-person boat with a back seat (kind of like a VW J...

Checking with my test piece of plywood, the fitting is pretty decent now from the transom forward to Frame #4. That's odd, (but also a relief), because the floor battens are anything but flat. I bought a 6-1/2 foot level so that I could check as much batten length as possible. The high and low spots...

Bonjour et bienvenue. Est-ce que vous avez quelques photos de votre projet?

Here's a closer look at that high spot on the middle batten...

I've made a little progress on that outer floor batten. After shimming it & fairing, the gap has closed up a lot. I'm currently working on high spots on the chine and the middle batten.

Coming along nicely, Carl!

I love how they make the guy wear safety glasses for that.

Well you wouldn't want one of those sharp poofy balls flying off, striking the musician in the eye causing mild irritation

Hey... those things cause cancer in California!

I've had the privilege of riding in both GDCarpenter's Zip (which has the Frame 4 bottom member higher than the floor) and Vupilot's Zip, which had the "inclining" floor boards that were even with the tops of the floor members of Frame 2 and 4. It was no big deal to sit with my feet past the Frame 4...
