Fairing ,fairing ,and more faring
 

Okay so I do have the starboard side finished , well, to the point of spraying high build or fairing....so now I'm back to the port side to replicate the STB side...I know you don't see both side at the same time. But I like to be withing 1/8 of an inch of each other..the weather Havens been pretty nice this week.. so I. Trying to get this part done asap.. so I can start with the toe rail.and covering boards...

So as you can see I measured the hull side on both side and transferred the measurements and angles to each side..a whole.lotta walking back and forth... But it is slowly getting there

Lumber from Maryland
 

These are the mahogany.boards my cousin let me have...
I ran them through the time saver ...I love this sander, and it takes off 0.020 of material at a time...the boards finished out at 1.566... So there should be enough material to split in half for the coming boards and coming pads..also the console.pod.will mahogany...

That's a really nice machine!

Thanks Joel... I'm trying

Thru hull scuppers being installed
 

Well after some measuring and finding the correct hole saw bit I decided to drill some through hull scuppers drains for the deck.. in between the never ending fairing..

Scupper install
 

scupper install

1. Pic I measured and drilled the hole
2. Rabitt the hole out and then put a wet coat of epoxy on..
3. Then back buttered the rest of the epoxy with cabosil thicken epoxy
4. I taped the thu hull up and waxed the snot out of her.
5. Installed it about 2/3 in let set up
6. Then pull out very carefully...
7. Inside the deck liner I modified the floor drains to mount vertically measured in from side 12" and drilled a hole . I am amazed at the thickness of glass on that liner.. about 1/2" thick

Oh yea in-between all this more fairing going on

Started installing the trim tabs
 

Had some tabs laying around so I thought I better drill and in stall them... I want to have everything drilled and cut first then paint and reinstall the hardware..

First drilled holes oversize then chamfered the holes ,then I mixed a epoxy and brushed it in the holes ,then last I mixed some thickened and squirted it in the hole from the back to the front with them handy syringes

Still working on rub rail
 

About got the rubrqil done. I ordered the stainless 316L hollow back 3/4" from marine industries Inc.. great people and very friendly. Ordered3 -20' sticks... Very inexpensive with freight shipping...I should have the rubrqil done by the time it arrives...I started on the floor ,.. bought a 4*24 belt sander and commenced to know don the high spots and sand the whole deck down. To accommodate the teak...

Did my ritual black Friday deal on shop vacs.. each year I buy one and each year I throw one away... This time I bought twoo

that is quite a job you got going there, great picts!

Thanks I'm tempted to bring the boat down to you to finish it... Can't seem to get anyone here. They are too buay

This was the blue skiff in the back ground I have been working on for 10 months

Shes getting some colors
 

My buddy is spraying the seacraft

Seacraft
 

Thanks Don.. it has been one hell of a ride.. I would say it is about 50% done.. motors, rigging ,console pod, ECT,ECT.. still.needs to be finished.. I am trying to have her done for the spring gatherings. and or summer lobster season..

Finally getting some color
 

She is getting her make up done... Shazamm

Awesome job!

Pulled her out.
 

Going to start rigging

Awesome! For me that is actually the fun stuff. This last build I bought new ratchet crimpers, drill and driver bits, and top of the line wire and connectors. I also spent a day measuring for hardware length and bought fasteners in bulk. Remember to lube all threaded screws and bolts if you are using a gun to keep from balling the threads. Ask me how I know......

BAlling/ Galling
 

Yes I know what you mean, ,, You know its hot out when your Balls begin to gall.. lol.

Took the boat to a buddies house ,so that he can repair the motors going on the boat. Ill be running some old 150 2 strokers. mercury. 2.5 liter .. I have ran these motors to hell and back .. do have the funds for new 4 strokes. so opted to get these suckers going..there is is still alot of stuff to do on the boat... covering boards toe rails and coming pads .... not to mention tearing down the old shop to build a bigger one.. so with that said the boat will be done later in the year .. i hope.

I'm still waiting on motors to be done.. 2weeks

Still getting er done
 

The motors are done now we wait on the TTop to be built
