Pics of my cutwater pattern and wood around the cockpits. Not sure what the correct term is for those pieces.

A few progress photos to follow in two posts. Three clear coats now on. I will probably do a total of 7 or 8 coats, then wet sand and buff out.

Skip, I haven’t visited the forum in a while and just saw your decision to sell your boat. I am blown away but I certainly can understand where you are coming from. I used to build hot rods and loan them to my friends to break. I discovered a long time ago that I enjoy the challenge of the build muc...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I hope to be posting updates more often. Summer will be here before we know it.

More pics.

Finally got back on the build. My Mother fell ill before Christmas and passed away December 29th. She was 93 and truly our family's patriarch. I haven't been in much of a mood to work but decided to get back on it. Completed all of the finishing boards. Probably have a month of sanding and finishing...

Good to have you back. I just got back on mine after a month of being disgusted with my engine hatch. I'll soon have the finishing boards on and then look forward to a month of sanding - LOL.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

I did some research and also visited another builder who did the 100% wood method. He had no issues so I decided to go that way. I think a lot of information that is out there (especially from Glen-L) is based on old products which did not do a good job of sealing and protecting surfaces. Like most ...

Thanks Skip. The caulk intimidated me so I decided to use all wood - no caulk. I get the lumber in 7/8" thickness so I ripped the Mahogany to 2 3/4" width. Then I glued a random width piece of Maple to it. Then I ripped the whole piece to a finished 3" in width (the Maple is now 1/4" thick). Then I ...

The steering wheel came from First Choice Marine. Uflex V26.

Finally finished the narrow finish boards. Here are a few pics. The lumber yard is cutting the wider, long ones which should be finished tomorrow. Once I get them, I'll begin installing them.

JT, I am sorry that I just found your string for the Monte Carlo. I am building the Monaco (see " Monaco Restart" by Speedracer) which looks similar to your hull. Anyway, your build looks fantastic. The PCM engine I purchased didn't fit well. I had to go in and out six times I think, trimming each t...

Yes. I got the confirmation with the number. I'll send another e-mail today. Thanks.

Anybody know if Glen-L closed? I ordered some Poxy-Shield about 3 weeks ago. Never got it so I sent an e-mail on the 15th. Never got a reply.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I'll track down each suggestion.

Bayou Bengal - Yes, send me the contact information for Walter.
