It’s coming along nicely. In Michigan, I had to have all of my receipts with me to get a title.

Looking great, Carl. Amazing how fast the space goes away when you start putting things In it. I have a flame stool too. Lol

I was thinking of doing the same thing with mine. How much trouble did you have drilling them straight through?

You’ve probably entertained this thought, but could you build the sea knight hull then build an open cockpit with a center console?
Just a thought.

Carl, you are a full fledged member of, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!” No one would ever know your woodworking skill level is anything less than.... Skilled! You ARE a Craftsman! Your build is impressive and your latest work With your cabin is outstanding! I’m excited for you and looking f...

I went to the boat show last weekend. They always have a section of antique boats and this 1960 Riva was there and I thought of you.

I have both a mirror and a compass. Rarely use either of them, but they’re fun to have (my wife loves to take pictures through the mirror). I haven’t pulled anyone skiing or tubing yet. That’s where you will use the mirror most. A compass is good if your going to be navigating large buddies if water...

I agree with getting her done enough to launch her. The details will come in time. Life is not a given, play while you can. I launched mine last year and had a blast. Now I am working on all the details I didn’t get done then. I also learned some things that needed to be changed. She’s looking great!

Facebook marketplace has engines a lot. But you never know what you are getting. There is a place in Florida that sells new ones that I saw on eBay a lot, but you still have to buy the prop, cables, and controller, and have it shipped. I bought mine at a local marina. I had the engine mounting holes...

When life gives you lemons.......

Nice job on the jig and a great idea. It’s cool seeing the roof come together.
It would be nice if you could build things in the cabin that could be moved or removed as your needs change. But I know that’s not always feasible.
Very impressive so far.

Seems like you might get a lot of cavitation. Have you thought about using a jet drive from a jet ski?

One more pic.

So, I’m also working on my rub rails. I’m practicing on some smaller parts to work out the bugs. It’s still a lot of work to make them.

You would think after all thus time I would get better a epoxy. My starboard side turned out pretty good, but my port side keeps rippling. Not fish eyes, just ripples. Goes on smooth then after a while ...... It happened all three coats. Sanded lit back smooth each time, but goes back to a ripple. I...
