Hi Murray, and Happy New Year. I have only had my Gentry (Brandy) out a few times, and I am by no means an expert but as built to the plans I certainly would have no hesitation in recommending her to you. At 50MPH, I chickened out as it was feeling a little "slippy" from side to side, but ...

Hi Steve,

So many details, and every one of them must be right. I would kill myself with worry that I built in something I couldn't get access to later... Nice looking swim platform, very clean lines but solid looking. Great job as usual.!

Must be nice having a break from all the mechanicals for a while. Looking fantastic!

Oh Yeah! This is better watching than the current round of TV shows we have on over here!!!

Steve, I have been quiet but still watching you fantastic progress. Those cabin roof stringers alone are some piece of work.

Excellent work as usual.

Hi Roberta. I am in awe of your achievement (again). I know also that this was not just a normal build for you, but also I suspect a very heartfelt "homage" to Glen and his designs and service to all of us. For not just your building skills and sharing with us your build, but your kindness...

I agree with Big Dog. The flatter the surface, the easier to lay the next layer nicely without the glass lifting and creating a bubble underneath. In addition, the less filler on the top surface the better as the saturated glass adds more strength than the filler. You can sand down high spots until ...

Sanding sometimes seems like a chore, but at this stage of the build I found it neat to smooth out the structure that you have built with your own two hands until she is beautifully finished. Looking fantastic!

G/Day Jamie good to hear from you mate were are you from in Aussie, yes i am following a lot of Glenn but he says he pretty much went off the plans what was it like to drive and especially in the turns as it has no turn fin ....John Hey John, Jamie is right about me changing the rear, not so much t...

I am jealous of your clean precise work!. Great job.

Almost sad to cover up all that work in the engine room area...
Looking great!

PM sent to John R. Ranny, did you mean to ask something? If you want the current state of play: Currently "Brandy" is languishing in the shed waiting for someone to make a cutwater as I wasn't happy with my effort. Have moved into a place 60-80 minutes drive from where she is and have no w...

Looks fantastic. Don't forget it will darken over time as well.

I would not go inside the pipe, you already have a very small outlet and that would restrict it even more. Me, I'd get some new outlets made slightly bigger with some parallel pipe poking out to which you can attach elbows as required. That way you could change them if they got damaged, or change th...

You are gonna have to come up with some kind of flange that will attach using the existing holes. Maybe get your local exhaust place (one that works in stainless) to fabricate an elbow with a flange for you. If you are capable, you can get some 316 and cut them out and just get the shop to weld them...

How about initially just add a 45 degree elbow to point them outboard and see if it helps. Just clamp on some PVC elbows for a test run. The issue is not noise here, but fumes and forcing the stream outboard my be enough to cure it.
