27 seamonster

Lots of grinding, lots of glassing. Keel and main stringers are in. 2 layers 1700 in bottom, more in the keel underneath stringers.

The original keel stringer was set in midway thru the main hull lamination so it was pretty thin underneath it (actually had been worn clean thru in some spots on the bottom).

The other stringers were set in after the hull was laminated then wrapped/tabbed in so they were a bit easier to deal with.

Shes giving up a fight thats for sure!

Coring hullsides next then onto bulkheads.

Im no artist, the transoms a bit wonky but you can get the idea...

The drawings in specifications come in really handy for developing your plans don’t they! Don’t think 1/2 the people have looked at them and they are a tremendous resource. If you work at and scale them out you can get a pretty good idea where you need to put things. ( mentioned for others not for you dirt—work looks fantastic!)

No doubt! Ive never been much of a draw-er though. Its all in my mind but doesnt translate to pen and paper...

PS Strick, figured youd like my remax tent. Recycled billboard, thats only half of it!

I like your drawing, I have a similar sketch for my 27 after seeing Jimmy Buffett’s newest Last Mango except mine was not a walkaround. Did you see the 27’ in NJ with the Downeast pilot house? The owner did a really nice job.
