They don't?
Thanks John.

A little glass work,just to see how things fit. Will need to do some triming on the step. Think i will layup the step first on the other side. I used about 7oz.




Think I will put down one then fair alittle then the other and more faring?
Using a slow polyester. Its only a prototype.

Laying the step first work out fine!

It looks really neat so far, but I'm not understanding the purpose behind the "steps" I've seen stepped hulls on high speed boats, but they are different than these.

My idea is that the 16' hull may be able to get on plane?? With the semi-v bottom and such a wide beam ,and keeping the weight down using light materals she mite? She is almost a flat bottom. So the steps trick the hull into thinking it is shorter and start the stern wave faster but a rest the boat has full contact with the water,stability. And if it doesn't work I will plug them. With some luck I will know with the prototype. Now I just need to find a 1/4 scale 9hp motor. And they only work on planing hulls,I think?

The big day! I have flipped the hull! Only had one old gray haired ,FAT guy to do the work!






I love the way the stern came out. FAN TAIL big time? Well in 1/4 scale.
No more BS,will finish the glass work and move on to the house.

Looking sweet! You need to turn it into a remote controlled toy when you finish her

oh yeah, thanks for the explanation on the steps.

I could not help but laugh with your sequential pix of the "flip".

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

I sure could use a BIG GUY like that when I flip

Working out the wheel house. Still not sure???





How about some input?

Work on wheel house.

I like it ....and would put some camber to the top instead of flat

I still need to work on the top. Just put the flat up to get a idea???

That's what I figured you did, but you know what they say about assuming!!!
