Went out a few times but didn't do any fishing had all the tools but alas the boat was not cooperative. Overheated as soon as it got on plane .Did some overdue maintenance, I am waiting for a set of manifolds and riser elbows. I did manage to snare a few nice rock cod last week on a private charter ...

The relays seem to be similar so now you gotta have a spare which you will never need. good going Steve

glad to see you on the board again. Hope senior moments are rare and past experience fuels this high octane build I am, especially in these times enjoying my boat, maintenance is easy except in instances when I forget what exactly I had wired and its purpose( senior moments)

currents are described for the direction the are going wind on the other hand is named for the direction it came from. A head wind is no problem for you since you are already going with the flow. Great going Steve.

From the very inception this forum has been one of helpfulness no one ragging on any one except for ragging on Bill E. I went to G2 G4 and G10 after the first I went because of the kindred spirit we all did the same stupid and brilliant things we all found solutions advice wise or from sleep induced...

Everything looks really great and strong I thought some of the scantlings for my build seemed small and not being an engineer didn't know of the idiot factor that goes into design eg if its made to withstand x force it could possibly withstand x plus, so my frames were the nominal thickness. I paid ...

Do not despair sleep on it sometimes that is all that is necessary to come up with the solution. I know the feeling I think we have all been there especially in areas we know going in is not our strong suit.

Kens I just placed you in the furniture builder category for future reference. some of us build work, play, jewels like Seaquin, award winning etc boats but now you have gone and built water bound furniture. Absolutely beautiful. Kens do not put a big block in her

m8 is closer to a 5/16 m10 is closer to 3/8

Or maybe A Fair sheer

So now we know what it isn't maybe in sailing terms it is a bold sheer.

I think it is called a Hogged Sheer.I think there is some reference to style and types of sheer in Boat building with Plywood

I am also in OC and I can appreciate the effort to maintain the Skipjack a smaller center console may adequately fit the bill. good luck with your build that is a nice boat for CA waters

As usual looking great now old buddy you are at the 10% stage. It is often said that 90% of the build takes 10% of the time and the other 10% takes 90%of the time and it looks like you are way into the 90% so keep on keeping on you are doing it right.

The differences between a marine engine and an automotive engine as we know it are the ancillary components. the starter and alternator are such that they inhibit wayward sparks and carbureted engines have a flame arrestor instead of an air cleaner exhaust is usually water cooled and some other mics...
