21 Hull #136...Restoration...Started

[Islandtrader]

Lookin' Good! How deep are the chines at the transom? Did you have any ballast aboard to simulate the windshield and hardtop?

The waterline at the back was 2 inches on one side and 4 inches on the other. Not sure why? Could not leave the boat in for long since the forward thru hulls were leaking. I did not want to seal anything until after paint. Next time I will put plumbers putty on first.

If you look real close you will see a 30 gal. can on the back. I filled that up with water and moved it around to see what effect it would have on raising the water line as it moved forward...Basically none. When I moved to the 4 inch side the boat settled to approx. 3 inches ( my weight 185).

Ah yes the mystery of boat building or should I say boat re-building

Today I will build the battery tray in and get that out of the way. Then I should be able to fire it up
