Or, we could just leave it parked in your yard... and still drink a lot of beer on it. No need to discourage the drinking aspect due to its lack of seaworthiness.
Cut out the two bulkheads and mocked everything up. Next I have to get some foam spacers to hold the boards up off the hull and fill the gap with construction adhesive. Gonna get that done this weekend, has a min 48 hour drying time.
One of my helpers. Since the key hole is currently covered this is where she made her home since she can bring me the ball.
Stuff is actually in the boat now! Spent part of Saturday and Sunday getting the stringers set it. Bought some foam pieces and stapled them on the bottom to make a gap.
Yesterday I cut out the transom keyhole and ground the edges down. Then I started putting the glue down. Forgot to cut the drains on the bulkheads so I'll have to do that after everything is dry. Finished up about 1030 last night. 6 caulking tubes of glue made me wish for one of those fancy electronic guns.
Nice work Clint, we will be drinking beer on that thing soon.
Gonna need a lot of beer to get it to that point too.
I'm working on the outside of the boat this week since the glue is curing. Finally gonna use that detailing stuff you ordered for me. Kinda nerve racking.
