Re: New member Michael Surman from salt spring island BC Canada
Welcome! There are a few guys that come to the rally in TN with a True Grit and I think it's quite similar, you may want to connect there.

Re: New member from Peoria Illinois
Welcome!
I think there's a few "go fast" boats on the Illinois so those are your biggest concerns. Just remember to keep the bow up on wakes.

Re: Desperado Build "Cranky"
Welcome! I'm looking at other builder photos and I can't or don't see where they bolted through the transom, it might be that the bolts are hidden behind the veneer (countersunk and filled into the transom plywood?). Unfortunately there will be many details like this that you will have to work out f...

Re: Tahoe 21 feet based on an Tahoe 19
Welcome!
I used the Raptor nails on all layers, just be sure to be generous with your epoxy. On the bottom planks I used weights where I could, primarily to keep the seams flush.

Re: 20ft Texas Barrel
Petcocks can clog with sand, and not drain completely. Jim The drain holes can clog no matter what you have in them, that's one reason why you blow them out with air. The petcocks just make it easier to get onto with a pair of pliers while you're standing upside down, laying at a funky angle or oth...

Re: 20ft Texas Barrel
The used 305 I originally bought had some very nice brass petcocks installed on each exhaust manifold and on each side of the block. I cleaned these up and re-used them on the new build, they're easy to pop open for draining out the system and if you've got a rubber tipped air gun (provided your air...

Re: Material for frames
Louis Sauzedde has a very nice video that shows the differences between red and white oak.

Re: Material for frames
Have you checked mahogany prices? I found it was cheaper for me than DF.
White oak is another option but be cautious with oak species as Bill has mentioned above.

Re: Space Coast Barrelback
I can show you how I did my Tahoe and this model is connected at frame #8. Should be the same idea. Basically I laminated and bolted a block into that corner, but if I could do it again I'd make a block like I did at the transom. I also screwed into the end of the stringer from the front of that fra...
