Maybe I could borrow the 60hp Merc off the Lund???
That would probably make a really cool youtube video!!

Barra,

I downloaded the Draftsight.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
I used to use a cad program at work so I have some experience.

Flipped her over today to work on some frame structure and seats.

Got the bottom and sides installed.

Tom,

Very interesting. Thanks for posting the layout!
Guess I should have asked before. How much room is left in the aft open cockpit area?
What kind of people occupancy is comfortable for you?

Thanks,
Dennis

Slug, A cardboard mockup is probably the best way to go. My main concern was I don't want to start a project and then find out the boat doesn't have the space, storage, amenity and people capacity I'm after. I like your card board scenario. That should give me a good feel for a finished product. Eve...

I was trying to search the web for some sort of free CAD program so I can layout the interior. I'd like to have a good idea of what I would end up with before I get going on a big project such as the Bo-Jest. Anyone have any experience using CAD to design their boat interior and where did you get a ...

Mike, I'm interested in your Bo-Jest build! I checked out your blog and it looks like you're off to a great start. I've already purchased the Bo-Jest builder notes to review and hope to start sometime soon as well. Got to finish my Sabotina first though. I haven't been on the forum here in a while s...

Lol yeah she has asked already if me building this boat means that we will be selling our 2009 sun tracker party barge 21 , I told her no that's like our mini van and the zip will be the sports car ! She just turned and walked away because she knows the money that has been spent on that boat all re...

Got the frame work done and starting to add the plywood sides.
For this project I decided to use the 1/4" Sureply purchased from Lowes.

Tom - just sent a PM - thanks.

Sounds like the descision is in - I shouldn't have any regrets going with a displacement boat.
I was goofing around with "Paint" program and gave the Bojest a slight forward slant on the windows.

What brand/model Japanese pull saw do you use Andy?
Where do you find yourself using it the most (as far as boat building goes)?

Dennis

Just ordered study plans for the BoJest.

Tom,
Do you have a post w/pics somewhere here of your BoJest build? Would love to see some! Also, do your windows have a slight forward tilt? I kinda like the forward slant window look.

Dennis

Mrintense, Yes the garage height will be another issue after the flip. Not quite sure how I would finish a BoJest with the cabin and such since it wouldn't be able to fit height wise out the door. I will cross that issue later I guess. I was thinking for now, I could build the cabin somewhat seperat...

Yep! Already read the Boatdesign book. Very good read - I enjoyed it and learned alot yoo! Recently just got the book of boat design catalog as well. Thats where I started looking at the BoJest. The Sabotina plans came with it and I am currently building it hoping to gain some skills along the way. ...
