8 cleats. 4 per side (port and starboard)

2 Fill ports (water and fuel) both on the port side

I'm putting my deck fills away from each other(one on each side of the boat) Both of mine will be on the same side, but I am separating them by about 6 feet . The fuel fill port will be the aft one and just aft of the side wings. Also, although it probably wouldn't be noticed, each port is identifi...

Thanks for the feedback Matt and Matt. I will be through bolting the cleats and the backing will either be hardwood or plywood, although I am now leaning towards plywood which I think will be better for this application. The cleats I bought are quite nice with two holes on the ends and a third hole ...

I put the fuel port on the same side that it is on my truck. In my case that is the port side. Bill Thanks Bill, that's where it will be on my boat as well, although it's more a function of where the gas tank is going to be mounted. Looking good, Carl! For cleat reinforcements, I epoxied them in pl...

Thanks Billy. I have been getting ongoing treatment, but it's a slow process. Today, didn't have much time to work on the boat, but one of the next things I want to do is determine where to place the deck fittings. For me this means, four cleats per side, two fill ports (one for water and one for fu...

You're just so close to slapping on motor on the back of that bad boy and taking her out for a cruise. I might have to take a road trip to Austin. :D :D Well there's still quite a bit to do. For one thing, none of the interior is even installed! But it is exciting to see it coming together. You're ...

Thanks Lee and Jim

Back problems are continuing to slow me down, but not stop me. I've got the port side skins cut to shape now.

Beautiful build Mark. There's another Mark her from New Jersey who I believe built a Ski Tow as well.

I also used the router and angled jig. It works fine. Really as far as scarf joints go, it's the glue up that actually more work because you want to make sure the board is straight through the scarf joint. When I made my chines and sheers (21 plus feet long), I used cinder blocks to hold them up and...

Really really nice Matt. I think you're definitely on the right track there!

Thanks for posting those pictures Matt! I'll be getting to this at some point in the next several months and it's one of those parts I am nervous about. Yours is looking great. Love that horn on the deck!!

Thanks Neel and Bill!! I think I will go ahead and add some in there just in case I need the support or as Bill said to screw into. You guys and this forum as a whole are best I couldn't imagine doing this without the help!!!!......Carl This is the secret sauce of Glen L builds and I think it expla...

Nice execution of the rear seat Biss. I am trying to decide how I want to provide access to this area on my Vera Cruise as well.

Very cool. Looks great. It's always nice to see these completions. It gives me hope for my own build. Thanks.

....<snipped>..... but I just got a new motorcycle and have riding it instead of working on the boat. Guess I needed a break after 6 years. .... snipped> ..... Jim It's funny how motorcycles can do that. I spent a good part of my adult live riding. My last one I had for the first two years of the b...
