Agreed - laminate and scarf - stronger and more stable.. with the benefit of less cost.

Looking good -
I remember it going much faster after completing the finish work
(not my favorite part at all)
Great milestone!

I'm sure you've seen this - use a circle jig to do it. These make large circles pretty easily - and you can make this out of scrap https://bperkins.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_4901.jpg?w=736 Then cut the outer hole - I was afraid of a slip - so I left tabs and made the final cut by hand. https:/...

Congrats!
It felt like It took years when I did mine.. Huge milestone for such a simple statement

I looked at the picture of the boat..
The bottom is relatively flat - however - there is twist..
Twisting 1/2" plywood is going to be a pain... its going to put up a fight.. pulling on frames, etc as you get it into position..
just a thought.

Nice to see my site is still getting used. and agreed - If you want to be certain to have no voids - vacuum is the best way to do it.. Vacuum is the perfect clamp - 2000+ pounds of clamping pressure per square foot in the exact shape of your boat.. AND - if there is a void potential - the vacuum pul...

Both are flat bottom at the transom
That means they like flat water
If you will use the boat where there is a lot of chop - you want some 'V' at the transom.
But they are pretty similar otherwise.

Making the seating was a source of anxiety.. When I did mine - there wasn't a lot of reference material.. I'm not sure there is now.. That said - I went out and took measurements from my daily driver.. seat depth, height, angle, etc.. That turned out to be a big help in getting close to the final se...

Nice job

Great work!

This was my favorite build week - my company had shutdown.. best Christmas present ever.. A week of building.
home stretch!

I'm betting they are a reseller..
Those are glen-l pics..

You may want to wait until your seats are in place and make sure it will direct the wind over your eyes (and hat if possible)

Looks nice!

I like the bungs - my deck is due for a refinish job..
would be simple to do at that point..
Thanks!

Hope your engine problem is solved.. They are a little aggressive on the impeller - My engine sat for a number of years during the build - then I used it a few seasons - and it did fail! I did't realize the big V8 had an impeller (duh) - I just figured a more traditional water pump was at work. That...

I didn't read all the way back to see what engine you had - but this sounds very much like an issue I had on my truck years ago.. If your engine is modern and has a mass air flow sensor on the intake and the throttle body - it could be dirty causing the butterfly valve to stick. I can't remember all...
