Yes, maple

The bow decking is pretty close and lots of mechanical activity happening aft. I’m not pushing for a specific completion date, but the Gathering 2020 may be in reach.

Good to have you on board, dive right in to the build.

How do I control the linear actuator? Not the travel limits but the force it can apply? Like when my SUV rear lift gate closes on the dog it stops.

I guess you could try to plank your boat without a transition joint. A 90 degree butt joint might look funny or a 180 degree lap joint if you come from the other direction. 😃 Im just kidding around, it’s a perplexing concept to the new builder that becomes clear when you start planking. Have fun and...

It’s Easier to clamp the side planking along the sheer as you glue and screw if it goes on 1st.

Wonderful travels, thank you for sharing.

Wow!

Lee,
I only brought 1 of the bottom battens all the way to the stem. The other 2 stopped at the last frame. Not saying it’s the right way to do it but so far it hasn’t been wrong and I don’t think it changed the shape.

Getting the geometry for the engine hatch linear actuator figured out.

Lee,
Your build is looking wonderful. The sheer landed nicely on the breast hook and stem. Those three bottom battens get tricky as the sheer meets the stem, not much room to bend and twist them. Yours are well done! Very nice progress on your build.

Here’s what happens when a fuel filter leaks on top of the engine. It was a rough day.

Yep, same thing happened to my friends Cougar; did you fix it up? I will stick with the one remote mounted filter / water separator.

Wrapping up a Barrelback then on to the Trans Am.

Why do you need another filter in addition to the Fuel filter/water separator? My 1991 351 donor motor didn’t have any filtration after the water separator filter.

Neel, Keep licking and sticking those planks! Mixing just the right amount of material is an art, I too don’t like wasting glue. I keep two products handy, Poxy Grip and SilverTip. Poxy Grip is very forgiving when mixing, I use the 1 glob to 1 glob ratio and never had a problem curing. SilverTip for...
