Thanks Terry but that's not enough time I would rather rent that house again and stay for 10

Never Done
 

Basically the boat is finished...LOL Right!:D

Anyway thought I might post this mod...in case no one else has thought of it or needs it.

After a few trips out in bumpy water I noticed that the front v-hatch was jumping out of the rail where it sits. I did not hinge it originally (dumb) because I thought I would not use it much (life jacket storage) and that I could just open and slide back to retrieve stuff. Well I was wrong :mad:

I wanted to hinge the lid and then have something hold it open while I was digging around. Best solution to date was 5200 hinges to the liner and to make a hinge that would flap one way and lock another. Hope this makes sense.

Rod Holders
 

After going out a few times I discovered that I was in need of some rod storage areas . I did not want to put them on the inside of the gunnels for the obvious reason... so this is what i came up with.

One piece of cypress left from the side boards.

Drilled and Varnished.

It has worked out well so far.

What a great job and phenomenal finished project! Haven't been on the site for a while but first thread I wanted to check out. Enjoy! You've definitely earned it......

Would like to see video of the boat running into 2'-4' chop from your boat AND other boat so we can see how it runs .

Would likely be the only video in existence of this hull running in chop, not just flat or near flat calm seas.

Sure it's asking a lot, but would be an interesting piece of nautical history, brought back to life by you !!

Congratulations. Terrific looking boat.

There is a lot of ifs in that request...but if it happens I'll let you know...:cool:

Looks great! And im sure it runs great!

Hello this vessel looks similar to my HiLiner Gypsy 222 and I’m looking because the capacity plate is missing and I need a picture of one so I can make one. Do you know if your boat is the same hull?

Sorry but it's not even close to the same hull. I like the HiLiners but they are a completely different boat.

you bet :D
