PM'd you Skools...

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
 

well back from the coast now have begun to work on her again. epoxyed the floor panel's new wood in and them put glass over it to hold in place. then cut in the access hatch for the fuel lines. i hate a floor hatch to stick up and be a toe buster so i took the router and recessed in the floor hatch what ya think?

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
 

well been 2 days my epoxy hasn't dried enough to sand :-/ that i filled some gouges with. So i worked on the V20 tonight and did transom work. measured the transom with a string to see if it was smooth continued curve but it was off on one side by a 1/4 inch.ugh >:( so i ground on it till she is even all the way around. then spread epoxy with ballons to make smooth. now she is looking goooooooood. now got to line sand smooth then going to lay 1 piece of glass over whole transom from 4 inches under to over in well and 4 inches over the cap. she will be strong.

Nice pics - tank panel looks excellent!

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
 

Thanks BR, Don't ya want to go on the first sea run ;D. i'm hoping she is done soon. I may have the V20 finished at the same time. I'd like to have both side by side and spray them with paint at the same time. A 2 for one deal.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
 

Looking like a better than new boat Skools :o

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
 

Love the recessed access !! ...talk about attention to detail and a great solution 8) 8) ...yeah, if you can have 'em both ready to spray at same time, that'd DEFINATELY be a plus ;) 8) 8) ...as always, great work, Skools... ;D ...

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
 

Heck yeah I'd love to be on that maiden voyage! One of these days we'll be on EI at the same time...it will happen. I'll let you know when I head that way. If I don't get a ride on that Continental, maybe I'll at least get a ride on the Sea Ray or V20....or if I'm lucky that corvette ;)
