I’ll have to look when I get back from TDY but I’m pretty sure I used the dimensions on the plans then tapered them going forward and equally spacing them. In other words I believe it was 7” near the transom then 5”-6” forward. I’ll try to remember a picture as well.

I did, but only because I stretched the hull to 19 feet.

I'm really hoping that I can get back on this build, but work has me out of town for a couple weeks again.

Yeah Bill, he's in Port St John. I wish he was in St Joe, then I'd have a fishing buddy with a boat already.

But I'm sure once I finish this, I'll have plenty of "buddies".

Thanks for the support Carl!

Hey Tom, I probably should get this thread renamed or start a new one. I moved from Orlando to Panama City about 2 years ago. ' The build restart has been stalled due to honey-dos that were put off until the shop was built. Hope to get started in about a month, if my work schedule lets me. I've been...

I suppose it's my software engineering and aircraft mechanic background. You are a Software Engineer, Bill is a Civil/Structural Engineer, I am an Electrical Engineer, any other Engineers out there? Carl did you fix planes in the service? I was an avionics tech in the Marines, must be something abo...

I have a Carvewright woodworking CNC that might be perfect for making a pattern. If anyone is interested, once I get the shop set up (in the next couple weeks), I'd be happy to make something to be used for someone as a trial. I am NOT looking to make any money off this and right now I have plenty o...

I'm in Florida, of course it will

I'll have a window unit just to keep it somewhat comfortable during the summer. But the shade and luxury of not having to carry tools/materials in and out every time I work on the boat are a God send.

Those TDYs always come up at bad times. I just returned from a week long TDY to Laughlin AFB, could have been working on the shed but no, Air Force needs come first!

Couple photos of the finished boat shed. Interior painting will be wrapped up by this weekend, then watch out. I don't know where all my power tools will be sitting, so for now, just extension cords running through the rafters.

I notched the transom before laminating it and placed the battens roughly parallel to the keel. Marked their location, then cut the frame notches. I did laminate a couple of the longer battens, locating the joint as far aft as possible. You'll have a pretty wicked bend in them up near the bow, so av...

Nice, but how do you pull the camper and boat? Passed final inspection yesterday. Power went in last week, but no 220, yet, but need it for my table saw & dust collector. Want to paint inside walls/floor first then do electrical. Probably going to be a lot of cords until I figure out where I wan...

Kelly - where in Florida?

Will look into that Bill. I'll need to build them regardless, even if on the cradle.

Thanks for the tip!

I did cut it to 14 degrees, but because of the size of the transom, I used a jig saw and left it proud by about an 1/8th inch. While fitting the battens, I trimmed to final size then attached them.
