Re: Solar powered Amp Eater
Carl, Yes, it is encouraging when the progress is highly visible. I wish my progress could be a some what quicker. It has been almost 2 years since I ordered the plans. I thought I would have it built in 6 or 7 months. Matt -- don't fret about not seeing it completed at this years gathering. Even th...

Re: Solar powered Amp Eater
I began cutting the 3/8" marine plywood for the deck. It will be cut in 4 pieces and the plans show how to get them all out of one piece so here goes. 20170906_192519.jpg 20170906_192437.jpg [attachment=]20170906_193215.jpg[/attachment] We got a good start on the deck this evening.

Re: Solar powered Amp Eater
This will probably be the last time out before the gathering. We got the boat back home with plenty of daylight to spare so I got to work. I have a lot to do before the gathering in 2 weeks. I put my newly sharpened plane to work and faired the carlings and sheer to be ready to install the deck. Aft...

Re: Solar powered Amp Eater
I couldn't let labor day go by without getting the boat in the water.We launched about 9:30 a.m. and went for on a 4-1/2 hour bird watching expedition. We covered about 20 miles. Some places we were going really slow to get closer to the birds and some of the inlets we followed were really shallow s...

Re: Hello from Chincoteague Island, Virginia!
I think the wee hunk was designed for a center console but the bulkhead the seat sits on may have to go all the way across. If so you would not be able to walk around the seat but have to step over it. It is hard to tell without seeing the plans.

Re: Solar powered Amp Eater
My 1000/6000 whetstone arrived this week and I look forward to putting a razor edge on my plane and begin to prepare the sheers and carlings for deck installation. The next few weekends until the gathering I have some big choices to make: Work on the boat or take it out on the lake....

Re: Another Geronimo Coming Soon
Matt,
It is good to see that you are getting back to work on your boat. It doesn't appear that a car will be inhabiting the garage this winter. But if the weather is mild you will be able to work on the boat until at least thanksgiving.
