I have a transom mount transducer on my Key West boat, and I had a bronze thru hull transducer on my Gentry... They both work great at slow speeds as well as on plane. I have been using a Garmin chart plotter, which I love. The thru hull was mounted about three feet from the transom, just outside of...

I agree with everything Ken said about determining engine placement in a stretched hull. Using the "percentage method" and keeping the engine slightly aft is what I did when building my Gentry. I do think though that you will want to keep the engine as low as possible in either the Riviera or Monaco...

I am sure you have thought of this Carl, but just in case, don't forget about a depth gauge

Matt I'm going to glass the bottom and up to the waterline. Sides will be stained and varnished, and varnished, and varnished.... You know the drill !!

We were in Florida for the month of October and since returning to PA, I have managed to get the first three of six layers glued on the sides. Each layer gets a little easier as I have mentioned before. As can be seen in the picture, I have used every method of clamping along with stapling through a...

I'm with Matt on the HP issue. A 150 would be sweet and weigh about the same as a 115. You don't have to use all the horses, but they are they are there when you need them.... Everything looks great. You are amazing !!

Mine are square and they work as well as the rounded ones.... Just not as pretty

Tom... Everything looks great. Those are the exact cup holders I had in my Gentry. You might want to step up a notch or two to get better quality, but they do work and are out of the way when not in use.

Tom... Just a thought on cupholders: In the front cockpit of my Gentry I found two cup holders that retracted into the front vertical panel of the seat. They actually swiveled out and in. I don't know where I got them, but they weren't expensive and did the job. I installed them side by side in the ...

This is getting scary.. Happy to hear you're coming Tom... I am really looking forward to meeting you and seeing your masterpiece.

Wait a minute..... You guys are all going to be in my back yard????

I would leave them as is and move only the ones that get in the way. It's not that hard to cut them out, but why make extra work for yourself? You will probably only have to move two, or maybe four of them. Best of luck to you as you continue your BB..... Neel

Yes.. Craig and I will be hosting a "Spaghetti Dinner" at the Big House on Thursday evening. We had 56 people at G-13, so shooting for at least 75 at G-15.

I used two layers of 6mm (1/4") Okoume plywood on both my Gentry and Palm Beach 22 builds. It should also work on the Tahoe. That way everything on the hull will be the same thickness in the end. Obviously it won't bend and twist as easily as 1/8" but it worked for me. As you get towards the bow and...

Great idea Ken.....
