And some more. Well it's being a learning curve. Thanks to all on this forum. The flip was a real let down. I had imagined about 15 people and lots of malt but in the end it was four freinds, no beer and about 20 minutes.
It's been a long time though I am still 100% comited. We own/operate a construction company down under here and with a young family it is hard to find the time. But I will get there. I started the painting on my own with the roll & tip method but was not happy with the results so packed up and took it to a paint shop. I am real happy with the results. Makes all those hours of sanding seem almost worth it.
Framing is Australian spotted gum with 4mm ply lamination on one side. I am a little worried about the weight because of the heavy timber but not to much more than oak. All seams have two layers of cloth and then the third full covering. Just working on the bumper rails at the moment.
Things not to do: 1.Fibreglass when it's cold, 2.Fibreglass when it's hot.
3.Lie to the missus and tell her I am going to run some erands in town when I'm actually sneaking out to work on the boat.
Things to do: 1.Use a laser level for every thing. 2.From setting up the form, Getting each frame exact, Getting water line, running strait lines down centre. 3.Tell the missus I love her and that I'll be back in just a minute...
Well kind regards to you all

I really like the lines of the hull so far and cant wait to see it with the deck on it. Back in the day there was great variety in boats, as far as motors are concerned, but sadly today if you want to find parts that are relatively inexpensive and easy to find you really need to stick with chevy motors. Is that a 60's eary 302 or one from the 80's? Just wondering.
