Moving forward. Can’t wait to see it in the water.
Step by step right! I have times where I visualize it in the water, but I am just trying to stay focused and keep checking stuff off the list. Only problem is I keep adding things to the list as I'm checking other stuff off. Appreciate it.
You have done an AWESOME job of planning and CONSTRUCTION.
Can't wait to see some fish slime on it!
We are a good bit away from slime, but we are getting closer every day. I just hope the vision in my head is attainable. Appreciate it.
Amazing Job you are doing at this rate you will be starting the finish work soon. Can’t wait to see it done.
It will come in time. I have to quit getting distracted by other things.... Hope to be back on it and pushing to finish soon.
Gonna run any PVC under the gunnels? Mine is for the trolling motor and nav lights on the starboard side. Port side is for my fuel line.
I’m planning for some 1” pipe channels under the gunnels for lights and stuff, but all LED so it should be small wire. Trying to keep everything larger in the floor. Also plan a crossover pipe in the motor well under the top piece on the forward edge. Should make running everything as easy as possible and capable or handling whatever innovation comes in the future.
Great job, great videos. Just found you and subbed. I have done it before, so I can appreciate just how much work it is to build a boat.
Appreacite it and thanks for following along. It's a labor of love, but I hope some of the most stressing times are behind me with what have learned thus far. But, we shall see. Thanks for commenting. Let me know how I'm doing.
Sure, it was a struggle but the progress is evident.
Somethings are just tougher than they should be. In a couple weeks it will be just another step in the journey. Appreciate it.
Great work! Those chases are a bear to get in. Glad the flexible PVC is helping.
It could have helped more, but I got a little nervous about it being so difficult to fit. Now that I've worked with it enough, it's the way to go for sure. Appreciate it dude.
When you're struggling to get your runs to line up you can massage the angles with a heat gun.
That's a good tip. You know this would be easier if I got these tips "before the struggle". I kid. Appreciate the support.
Have you asked saltworks if limber holes should be installed between each compartment to drain the bilge?
I appreciate the question given some recent builds, but with how I’m laying out, limber holes aren’t the path I am taking. However I am taking special care and attention that each compartment will be totally coated with epoxy and/or glass, and all my plumbing will be self contained and/or fail safe. My approach is to utilize the segregated compartments as a means to isolate any issues God forbid I have any. I will discuss as I go forward.
Where do you plan to install the Gas tank?
I am bucking the trend and design in some capacity, and putting a 25 gallon tank under the forward casting deck, as far aft as possible. I intend to have live wells, batteries, and such to offset the weight forward, but we will see how it works out.
