Any updates?

Been a while but have been making steady progress. Stringers are done, glassed down with 3 layers. Reinforcing the tabbing into the transom currently. Got the whole liner cut out, going to save the anchor locker piece. Hull sides will be cored with 1/2" divinycell. Next up are all my transverse bulkheads tying everything together. Lot of work but having fun and learning a lot.
Decided we are going to make the cap ourselves using the old sceptre cap cut down. Big radiused smooth curve in the bow something like the Mag Bay 33 is what we are going for.

How big is the tent? I’m trying to find one that’ll fit a 20’ nicely. Anything over 10x20 seems to be $500+

Mine is 30 x 15 I believe. They definitely aren't cheap but mine came with the boat when I bought it and the tarp was all ripped so I just shrinkwrapped it. Works mint.

Made a lot of progress this time home. Got the whole framework finally done. All transverse bulkheads glassed in and also reinforced stringers to transom with a few more layers for peace of mind. Thing is solid as a rock. All stringers with at least 3 layers of 1708 some spots of “high stress” have 4. Next is coring the hull sides just picked up all the 1/2” Divinycell before I left for work. Talking to a fuel tank builder now hopefully will have one next month.

Guys can anyone help me out with why my pictures go sideways every time??? They’re always straight when I upload them

The only time I’ve had problems with pictures being sideways or up side down was when I took the with my phone and directly up loaded to the site...what I usually do is up load to my desk top first then up load to the site and they are right side up every time. You have the option of editing your posts to try an make them right..or I could do it...and have but to be perfectly honest I do not have the time or desire to fix everyone’s photos for them...

The last one I uploaded to my desktop first and that one came out straight. Seems like that’s the best way to do it. Thanks Strick! I’ll try to edit the posts later and fix the others.
