Been working on the rear area at the transom. Thinking about a step? What have you seen out their or tryed?

Some more work.

She would be 16' long and 8' wide. In scale she is 2' x 4'.
Maybe more of a test for me? Just to see if "I" will finish it.
Also working out the C-FLEX mounting.
Happy 4th.

You must think something? LOL
Here are the bulkheads cut out.

A little work on the keel and motor mount. The two lines are 15" and 20" transom. Still working out the sheer? http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/DSC01496.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/DSC01494.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/DSC01495.jpg A l...

110 in the working area on the 1/4 scale today. Lots of water. No Beer!
Cut the grass at 7 AM maybe 85?
But it is a DRY HEAT.

So,i went to work on the 1/4 scale 16' Tug for my Granddaughter. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/DSC01491.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/DSC01488.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/DSC01489.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh232/schiada/...

Nice start! Keep up the good work.

Now here is a boat (Model) test.
I may need to try this in my idea.

Kevin will probably agree that pulsed MIG is the up and comming thing in Aluminum boat building. I see you went on to another boat. Wish it would have ended with a full build,but! It is cool you are on the water now. Other than the time,what stopped it? Number of welds,weld time,WIFE? Just kidding ...

Thanks! I will start looking of the other power supply. And a spool gun ,Ideas?
Also,lets say I have some tine to build. Could it be done with my Linde 250HF ?
Also what about using the Linde for the spool gun? amps to low? She is a AC/DC/DC revers.
Thanks again!
This will be a one boat build.

Power supply is a Linde 250 from 1988. She is a good machine.
If in starting a job like the True Grit should i look into a better/newer machine? With me being 60 what will be the learning curve? Old dog. I don't have a MIG but looked at a Miller 140? Thanks again for the help!

Kevin,what gas do you use ? I have been using argon for just about everything.Thanks Randy.

Also what do you think of this weld. D = dirty C = clean
I tryed your rod hand hold. Now I can't remember what I use to do??

Thanks Kevin! I have been working on taking the True Grit and giving it the Titan look. Love the photos,the resessed tabs are something I was also thinking about adding. The upper house will be alum,wood,plastic?? I will build it to keep the C/G as low as i can. Looks like you do some work with Alum...
