Re: 20ft Texas Barrel
It's raw water cooled? Yes, raw water cooled. Doesn’t look good, intake manifold is cracked at the inlet. Ran it a few minutes today and it had water in the oil so I bet the heads and block are toast too. I had a heater in the engine compartment during the deep freeze last week but the power went o...

Re: 20ft Texas Barrel
Still haven’t started the engine since a freeze plug popped, standby for a report.
I did some trim work, loose fitting the rub rail and transom band.

Re: 20ft Texas Barrel
I need a big collective keep your fingers crossed. I popped a freeze plug last week when it got down below zero here in Texas. Replaced the plug yesterday and letting the Permatex set for 24 hrs. It’s either a $1.95 fix or an $1800 long block. Having to buy a 351 long block wouldn’t be the end of th...

Re: RAPTOR COMPRESSION STAPLER CT6000P
It hurts but two Raptors are needed. I can’t remember if I used 1/4” or 3/8” staples. It’s not a big deal if some staples poke through the inside, you can almost break off the tip with your finger.

Re: Deeper Vee for Retro Cruiser options
Lots of good discussion here, Im considering the Norwester for my next build. It can be built from 23ft to 28ft.

Re: Lee's Monaco utility build
I missed it, what kind of wood are you using for the final planking?

Re: barrel back 19 in annapolis
Splitting hairs. After the flip you will be under the boat grinding on the bottom making a flat spot for the strut. Even with a good shaft hole placement and angle, It takes some tweaking to get the shaft and strut all set up.

Re: RAPTOR COMPRESSION STAPLER CT6000P
Agree with Neel, staples for all the cold-mold strips. Much better fastener than the Brad. The Brad is for the final side planking.

Re: Side Planking to Narrow
It looks like you can move your side planking another inch toward the sheer. The bottom planking will lap over the side planking at the chine. If you still are a 1/2 inch short, you could fill it with a strip of plywood or thick epoxy. You will glass over it anyway. All you really need is enough con...

Re: Lee's Monaco utility build
My final side planking had a couple of splits up by the stem, I don’t notice them after the hull is varnished.

Re: 20ft Texas Barrel
That’s cool. If you need to remove a cutwater or rub rail screw just fold the winch tower out of the way.
