Matt... I would send a PM to Mr. Hot Rod (Paul Kane). He is the expert when it comes to transmissions and props. On my Gentry I have a 1:1 transmission with a 13X15 three blade prop..... That is with 310 HP. I would think a 13X13 prop would be good for your setup. But that would be my guess if you w...

I wonder if Roberta hears the "sawdust lecture" from Rich??? If not, we may be on to something here !!!

Carl.... Now that you have your Gentry plans, you too can produce large quantities of sawdust. Enjoy your build. We will all be following your progress.

I finally got the first layer of plywood planking on the sides. I still have the transom to go before fairing for the second layer. Notice how far forward the transition point is. I was starting to wonder if there would be one at all. I also unleashed the building form from the garage floor. It has ...

Okay Bill.... So we all want to know what your problem was and how you fixed it !!!

Way to go Matt.... I just can't get over what you've done to that garage floor !!! It's starting to look like mine....

You could do it in any of the ways mentioned, but I am leaning with Chris's solution. It appears you have plenty of meat on the chines to allow for fairing them into the faired stem without separating them from the stem and moving them back. You can do wonders with a belt sander, plane, and oscillat...

Thanks Peter.... Where have you been??

Nice job Tom.... I hope I get to see the finished product someday... Maybe in Tennessee ?

Nice job Matt. I love the bronze bottom paint. You are so close to doing some flipping. Exciting... You are miles ahead of me, but I look forward to running side by side with your Texas Barrel down or up (not sure) the Tennessee River. For me, that will most likely be G-14 at the earliest. I always ...

Ken.. That LCD thing I will have to think about and research..... In the meantime.. Lay off the coffee !!

Thanks Carl, Bill, Matt, and Peter...… Carl.. I am not planning to add many fancy devices, but I think you will see an engine hatch that opens electrically from right to left or left to right. You may also see a bow thruster or stern thruster. You will definitely see a disappearing electric hatch ov...

I had forgotten how long it takes to cold mold a hull. I have made my way from the transom down both sides and within striking distance of the pointy end. It is a slow process but it does show off the curves. I have been applying one coat of epoxy to the inside of each plank and letting that dry bef...

Carl.... As you know, I have been following your build since day one and continue to be envious of your patience... Everything looks great and I always look forward to seeing your new posts and pictures. One thing came to mind when reading the earlier discussion about donor bass boats. You said the ...

Tom… I did use Raptor staples on the bottom in combination with wire staples (through rope) and drywall screws (through wood spacers). The Raptor staples would not hold well in arears with big bends and curves. The other problem I had with it was that it would jam fairly often. It required removing ...

I spent a good bit of time the last few days doing final tweaking of the fairing on the hull side battens/frames. Also the bottom has been rough sanded and is ready for final fairing prior to layer #2 going on. I have started installing the planking on both sides. This process should go a little fas...
