Thanks Bill, I've considered that and we may try to tack it across the bottom, then pull the cloth down and wrap it up inside the hull with tacks first before we do anything. Provided that looks like it might hold it tight to the transom we may just proceed with a dry fit method in that way. We'll s...

The starboard side seemed to go a little better with some experience under our belts... The tail of the dragon goes tomorrow.

Welcome! Enjoy the build!

Worked out pretty well but I've got a curtain in the middle that will need to be addressed. Build it up and sand it back later? System Three says don't sand in between coats or you'll end up with white flecks in the finish.

Go Ted Go!

Bill

You're making me laugh and I think I owe you a case of "natty light"....... Wouldn't be here without you!

Laying the cloth on for tomorrow.

Welcome! Should be a fun build for you.

Thanks for the tips and the beer is readily cold for the end of any day. I also plan to brew a new batch of Spotted Cow clone some time this weekend.

This is weekend where I glass this hull..... Any last words of wisdom before I begin. The surface is cleaned / ready to go and I have all the materials I think I need. I'm gonna try the dry fit method and wet out the material and the hull in the same go. I'm planning on cutting all the cloth to a ro...

Welcome! I'm with Roberta on this, African is just fine and nobody will know the difference. Use the resources you have available in your area, which in FL should be pretty darned good... World Panel on the Atlantic side should be your first phone call.

Welcome! In the middle of my Tahoe build right now and I think I've looked at Bill's photo album a million times... Enjoy the ride.

Very nice but I suggest some PPE here, wear a mask (if you can't find one make one) or you'll feel all that sanding dust in your lungs.

Being "boatless" isn't all that bad"

Said NOBODY EVER!!

Yup, I said it. Enjoyed what I had but it was time to move on and start a new chapter.

This is a good point, one thing you might consider is buying something suitable now so you're on the water this year, then start building what you really want and can take your time. When you're finished with the build, sell the other boat. Of course, I went the other direction. I had a boat and sol...

If I had to do it again I'd consider buying a decent drum sander to avoid all the planner tear outs. Although, I've read that if you lightly wet the material and take thin passes on the planner it will help.
