Welcome! Sticking a toe in is a big leap but once you've committed it is highly enjoyable.

Started my Tahoe in June and loving every minute!

Is there a rule of thumb for locating the exhaust ports? The outlines as shown are about 1 inch below the set up level, does that look OK or would you suggest something different?

Wow, good tips! This is what I need.. I didn't think too much yet about how the different layers will meet up, I guess I was thinking it would get faired off to mate up. I'll have to mull the rabbet idea over.. Really there's no frame on the back of that car, literally there's some 3/4" square tubin...

I know what you speak of regarding the admirers, I get that every time I take my Cobra out, it's hard to even get gas without getting pulled into a conversation. The last guy asked "Say, what've you got in that thing?" and I had to politely tell him "she's my wife...." :lol: BTW Brad, I've viewed yo...

Thanks for your comments and yes, the battens in that location are flat. I already have plans to laminate another layer on here and fair it back so there is some curvature in these locations. Just the (4) short battens below the Chine Log will need this. You have a good eye.... I'll be working on fa...

Wish I could join you again but I'm building.. Hopefully G-14?

Well I am learning and getting the hang of it, and you may have noticed fewer phone calls from me. The first one is always the hardest and as we say in the business, "I don't know what I don't know". I'd rather ask advice from someone who has gone before and learn before I make a time consuming mist...

I'm right about here, but just a little beyond. Can't thank Bill enough for taking my calls!!

Thanks Butch. Since I'm building the smaller Tahoe I don't think a full sized Riva wind screen would work, the beam is ~ 6 inches narrower. Ocean Dynamics has one that might work? Wrap-around windshields [800 series] The lightweight but strong wrap-around 800 is available with an optional walk-thru ...

Or I was thinking of reducing the height, does that make sense?

That piece scales out to ~ 69 1/2" long on a stretched Tahoe, how short would you cut it?

What if I want both?

Tahoe - optional skeg. Pros & Cons?

Do you fair the keel for a flat spot before covering or cover it, then fair it for a flat spot later?

Thanks for the link Neel. I don't like the pass-through look with that center pane, in my mind it just doesn't work for the era and I'm planning on a period correct boat. Well, at least as best I can afford. Also thinking of exhaust tips. I like Butch Barto's side exhaust but I think those might loo...

Anyone know Gerald Hurst (is he still around?) and or where this windshield came from? I really like it....

Welcome! Not much water in that corner of NE but I think you've got a large Res. close by. Been through there on I-80 many times...
