Don't make it any harder then you have to!! The frame looks great and always will go flush all the way around, just going to use more starboard to go all around and something to catch things on and rip off!

Simple looks good and works best!

Starboard was ordered and will be here on friday. ;)
Decided to go Large. Using 3/4 starboard. Should be pretty Boss looking. *;D

Question is, will the water be warm enough to use the darn thing by then? ;D

The temps are in the 60's. Its divable, but my dive gear is still waiting to be picked up from its yearly service. :-[
Lefty will have to start her own website to pay for my toys. *;D

Starboard at 3/4" is weighing in at 23 pounds. :-/
I guess thats now my oversize trim tab. ;D

My starboard will be here on friday, does anybody know if a jig saw will cut 3/4 starboard ?? ???

Stinky_Hooker · #97 05-31-2007, 11:06 AM

It will but my guess is that its not gonne be a really square edge. You dont have a circular saw?

Little tip...I like to cover my starboard with masking tape while Im marking and cutting it, then peel off and no scuffs! ;)

No square edge STINK, not sure if a jig saw cuts that deep. :-/
Need a band saw maybe. :-/

Jig saw will cut that size.

Stink is right, don't you have a circular saw?

Wally world should have one for cheap,
or visit the B & D outlet.

Hmmm, a package arrived to for me. *;D

Somebody out there must Love me. *;D

Jig saw did work well on cutting.

Checking out the fit.

Have clearance.

Sanded down the corners, but thinking of putting some kind of bevel edge on the end. But that more money out for a router and bit. :-/

Totally Monster House. *;D

What the hell, lets go custum. *;D

This is the last pic. for now. Cant do no more. Need a router, bit, plus a few bits, screws and some 5200 to mount her on. Also need to install the platform bracket for the dive ladder as well.
