Hi all-We are progressing nicely with the Titan which was started by Carlos Bairo.
Not being real good at forums etc,I felt I should at least make the effort to share along the way.
Obviously Slugs Titan was a real triumph and we hope to emulate that.
As you can see from the attachment the boat in the main is in aluminium,but I have also been busy giving at a traditional look with lots of timberwork going on behind the scenes.
Further to Carlos's effort with the basic hull we have most of the cabin and foredeck/cockpit area now complete and plated up.
Internal fuel and ballast tanks are in place and the driveline has been 'dummy' fitted and removed again.
As you would all know,its a bit of work,but most enjoyable and loving the lines of this little ship.

Cheers Scott.

Scott,

Awesome Titan so far. Thanks for posting a photo and I look forward to seeing more!

Hi Scott; Was wondering how it was going...looking great. How about some details and pics of driivetrain, etc.
Doug

Thanks for the kind words Gayle and hello again Doug-Hope you are putting some decent miles under the keel of Grace Parker!
As mentioned previous, we trial fitted the engine,shaft etc.I went for a Beta Marine 30 hp with a 2 to 1 gearbox.Due to the favourable exchange rates here,it was a no-brainer to go for new and I have had good experiences with Kubota engines.
The shaft dia is an inch and eighth(from surplus stock).The interesting thing is the prop, which I know you are running with a big unit.The advice I got from two separate manufacturers was for a 14'' by 9'' recommended in a right hand throw.I'm also using a PSS dripless shaft seal with water partially diverted from the proposed the dry stack.
We did extend the cabin roof by a small amount aft for some additional weather protection and appearance sake.It also allowed us to have a couple of extra handholds.
Pictures to follow soon.
Cheers for now-Scott.
