Really Inspiring. If mine turns out half as good, I'd be happy.

Thank you to all the well wishers. I am very much looking forward to the flip and a new stage in the boat build.

Well things never progress as quick as you think or want them to, but there you go. On a more positive note though, after a two and a half year waltz with cancer my last blood tests came back with my markers undetectable. I'm very happy with that although I may have a vested interest. Yesterday I fi...

Have a look at "Tahoe 20 - New Zealand Progress". It may give you some ideas.

Skeg and spray rails finished and attached to the boat. I ran the spray rails pretty much the whole length of the chine. They were screwed from the outside and screw holes plugged. Touched up the bottom undercoat and am now ready to put the final coats on the bottom.

Murphy was an optimist!

Thanks everyone. Just about finished shaping the spray rails. Still can decide to epoxy them on or use a sealant like 3M 4200. Will screw and plug from the outside though.

I'm not very knowledgable about such things but I think your shaft angle would steepen quite a bit. Perhaps turning the motor around and using a V-drive could work.
