Re: 1/0 wire
Try a welding supply house. The ground wires for MIG/TIG welding are in that size range.

Re: Tunnel Mite Question
Sorry, I didn't realize that was an issue. When running these things I've found myself hanging all over them. Especially when getting up on plane I am usually waaaay forward until the bow settles down on plane. Lower center of mass is definitely better. You can also google "rev sticks" to fine tune ...

Re: Tunnel Mite Question
Little Hydros are not designed to sit "on" them. Get rid of the seat and get a thin pad to kneel on. You move your body weight forward and aft and side to side to adjust handling on the fly. That seat has got to go. It will also get you center of mass lower in the boat when it's removed. Try it, I'l...

Re: Peel Ply
I don't think it was peel ply, but a very thin plastic laminate sheet. Mylar comes to mind and google says yes.

Re: Interior Waterproofing
Add this to the discussion, I've been using Herculiner after doing a bit of research. It adheres right onto bare wood like nobodys business. It looks good ( hides a multitude of sins), provides an impermeable layer, and doesn't require any sanding. I think it wins just because of that.

+1 Buy Glen-L's "Boat building with plywood". Many of your questions will be answered there. It is an invaluable reference.

Re: Best way to make frame templates
Use brown masonite board from Home Depot. It's like 3/16" thick or so. Sands easy and holds up to the router bearing. I make "L" shaped pins out of 1/16" TIG wire. Drill through the pattern and work piece strategically. Use the pins to hold it there for routing. The finished part can then be pinned ...

Screw thread pitch on wood screws

All the holes are drilled to depth in the sheers, chines and battens with the appropriate taper point bit. the holes are also pilot drilled in...
