Blake. Sorry I think I was wrong about the proper measure. It indeed is NOT the straight line amidship. But it is probably also NOT the gunwale length. I think these boats may be measured along the waterline. Since the prow extends somewhat forward, the official length is probably closer to 13' than anything else. I spent many an hour exploring High Rock Lake with the 12 hp Sea King on this boat. Keep the faith. R. Blake Michael.
keep up the good work, looking forward seeing the finished product. :) A few small tips if you can afford it or have a phone with a decent camera is to have it filming you doing the whole project on a tripod or propped on a table or something stable with view of you and the whole boat so you can show timelapse of long repetetive stuff. 2nd tip would be to point the gopro on your head slightly downwards or tilt your head more down than usual, some of your work when dealing with the screws and such was off frame. its just perspective of having a third eye on your forhead that needs to always be looking at the project, you get used to it with time 3rd would be to have a 2nd gopro on your chest, for the shots that your head gopro cant properly see. when editing you can jump between the 2 gopros on your chest and head and the phone/gopro taking the timelapse. always good to have more angles as you can choose the one that got the best shot and use it for the video also if one fails or runs out of battery without noticing then you have the footage of the other one to use.
Thank you so much for the suggestions, I will try my best to keep the GoPro down when filming, I thought it was far enough down and when I watched back the footage it was all messed up.
Blake, Great work.. BTW--boat lengths are measured along the gunwales, not stem to stern amidships. So the boat is probably closer to 15' than to 13.5'. Also the widest point is known as the beam. Further, the under part where you discovered some damage is probably known as a skeg. How's the progress? Keep Calm and Carry On. R. Blake Michael.
Excited for the update good work
Thank you, I appreciate your support!

2nd tip would be to point the gopro on your head slightly downwards or tilt your head more down than usual, some of your work when dealing with the screws and such was off frame. its just perspective of having a third eye on your forhead that needs to always be looking at the project, you get used to it with time
3rd would be to have a 2nd gopro on your chest, for the shots that your head gopro cant properly see.

Where did you learn so much about tools and how to do these things? I think you have a very bright future!
Thank you for the positive comment! I have plenty of amazing people around me like my dad and grandfather to teach me and guide me!

Thanks for the information, the progress is a little slow right now because I am waiting on materials. Thanks for the comment!
How is this project coming along? I am looking forward to it! You're the bomb!
Little slow right now, waiting on materials for repairs. Could be a couple of weeks before the next video.
You're Boat desperately needs a thailand longtail mud motor on there.
🤣yeah
