I am about to move in to my garage for raising the frames. I chose to paint them in advance as some of them are hard to reach once the hull cladding have been added.
I purchased these plans and spend 3-4 years building and finally gave up and had a tow truck take to the dump. You will find there is not enough detail to the plans when you flip the boat over. I wish you the very best of luck. I look forward to seeing your progress.
I know what you mean. I purchased a 9meter catamaran and I find that there are not enough (For me) info . I see other plans and come as a book with lots of details. I am at the lofting process and over 6 months I will be starting with the build.
i build several runabouts from glenn l disigns. last couple of years i build exactly this one and is in the water this year. i build it with one engine because petrol is expensive overhere. The boat runs very smooth . These drawnings do not give the right deckplan but in "carlo the legend, riva the myth books ""are very good layouts. Stick as much to the original and you wil have a beautifull boat.
How's progress? We have these plans and plan to build our Aquarama as a project for our shipwright and apprentices. The plans are a good start but still need to do the engineering of the various systems.
Thanks for watching & commenting To my knowledge you should only use thickened epoxy when filling gaps. Here I am bonding two plane surfaces, so no reason to thicken the epoxy. Pls. subscribe and stay tuned
I am interesting to by the plans from this Riva
PERFECT.I have such a dream too. I'm watching with impatience. I will follow.
Man, the sounds are jamming. I am looking up the station as I type. Also, enjoying your built project.

How much money did you spend up until that point and what did you estimate the build to cost?

Thank you Hans for commenting,
Do you have photos to share?
I go for a twin V8 installation as I want to be loyal to the original Carlo Riva desing
@@rivaaquaramatribute-myboat7371 I have enough foto`s, actually we had a drone for film, If you have an idea how i can sent them let me know.?
Thank you Hans for sending the video and the photos. I appreciate

Was painting the best idea? Aren't these bonded to the hull? The epoxy will be stuck to the paint and not the timber.
I didn’t paint the surfaces to be bonded to the hull cladding; by purpose. After fairing the frames, cladding will be able to bond to the frames
I purposely didn’t paint the parts of the frames where I will be gluing to in near future
Thanks for commenting and stay tuned
Hello, what is the progress on this?
When is the next update coming?
In two weeks time. I am preparing my garage for the frame raising
Why didn’t you choose to thicken the expoxy first?
