| 33 footer?? I'm interested in building a new 33 foot center console. I'm located out of tampa florida and need some advice on how to get started. My plan is to build a 33 foot 11 foot beam center console with twin 350 mercrusier I/O's with jackshafts. I have a few drawings of what I want and about to transfer to drafting paper for my jigs. So I need peoples advice on if I got this correct.. My jigs will be cut from 9/16 OSB for the cost. Each rib will be place 1 foot apart. Then, because I dont know how to bend 3/8 wood, I was going to use 1/4 door skin material to get the shape. After the form was complete, I am going to spray it with gelcoat to get a smooth finish and buff it out smooth again. Then apply mold release. As you might be able to tell at this point, I dont plan on leaving any wood in the hull. As far as the lay-up goes, thats where I'm lost. I dont know how thick to make the bottom or sides but know the transom needs to be atleast 2-3 inches thick. I also wanted to use a core for the bottom, and sides if needed. So the boat will be built like a cold molded boat but no wood in the hull. If someone could tell me what weight glass to start with till finished, I'd appriciate it. Thanks for all your help..
