I'm with Oyster!!! This is way too cool. 8) Nice job!!! :D Please tell us that you will turn her into an R/C. One of those 2 stroke weed eater powerplants would be perfect. :wink:

No photos today. But I am sealing all of the wood today with CEPS. With pine,balsa,MDF,??? I just think it would seal thing up. After it that has a day to setup,it was only 110 today :lol:Maybe 140 in the work area? I will put one more layer of glass on her and start fairing.All that sanding, :( , :lol: its 2' wide and 4' long you putz! :roll:
Still working out the wheel house walls,seats,dash,rear deck,coming pannels,rear seat,and stuff.
Don't know about doing R/C? She may just be a pull-along? Now if I could find 1/4 scale electric outboard???? :wink:
I know,I know, build one. :oops:

Maybe alittle $$ but at this scale,not bad. :lol:

One of the things I see in the Marine Repair Buz is bad wood! This would add about $200 to $500 to a boat at its building but,with some luck she would never need the wood worked on!!
Building is a price point game. :P

Looks great!

I'm also starting a Titan build, interested in your progress.
Can you tell me how much ballast the plans call for?

Thank you.

I think I used 8 3"x48" X 1/16" for the bottom and the sides. The rest is 1/4" MDF. I wish I had plans other than what I came up with? :roll: Lots of cut and try. :oops: Hope to get back on it after the temp brakes here in AZ! Still 100 +.

mhack; Before you start assembling frames for a Titan, p.m. me, as there are some changes I would recommend to frame 8 and 9 that may save you some grief.

Hello all.
I have taken some time away from the TUG and have been reading two books.
#1 is (How to build any boat the stitch-and-glue Way) by Samual Devlin, and #2 is ( Lofting a boat),a step-by-step manual) by Roger Kopanycia.

After some testing I have found the bottom will not work. :oops: Bummer! :roll:

So, will be starting anew. :mrgreen:
Stay tuned,and thanks for the help. Randall
