It is a very thin glass hull. I bought it because for it's size I thought it would be a decently beefy hull given the weight. All the info I could...
No planing. I'm planning on a smaller outboard and displacement speeds of around 6.5mph. Bilge keels are possible and wouldn't to hard.
Everything will be built very lightly. I'm struggling mentally with that since I like to over build, lol. The base hull when done will be much...
Sorry, I got tied up with some things and didn't get a chance to do some figuring since most of my notes are across town in the warehouse. There...
Yes, I'm well aware of how displacement and draft work, but your reply makes no sense. It absolutely matters where you put the weight when...
It would be difficult. I'm building it in a monocoque sort of fashion so the floor will be bonded down as part of the overall structure.
Yes. That is how draft works? Like I said 50lbs won't noticeably add to it. Maybe 1/8 to 3/16". I'd have to check my volume notes at home to be sure.
I'd be thrilled if we could gain some stability while running to, but at rest is more important to my wife. The issue with the rocker stoppers is...
I've lived, fished, and camped in Florida for decades. That said, I'm not changing my plans for the basics of the cabin. I've camped on a Hobo for...
I'm working on building a small (20ft) camper boat/house boat similar to an old Hobo, but a little longer. This is a photoshopped concept of what...
Ok guys, I've been giving it a lot of thought and I think it's going to come down to really one aspect, off gassing. Several have mentioned the...
Does anyone know a supplier in Florida that actually stocks Meranti BS1088 and BS6566? I've found Okoume, but I'm honestly not a fan and prices...
I'll look into it. Thanks.
I think I'll be sticking to epoxy. It gives me warm and fuzy feelings since I'll likely be using wood and plywood for the cabin of this build.
Poly any vinylester resins are generally sold without wax. Gelcoats can be purchased with or without wax. I think what you call flow coat is just...
VE resin has gotten more expensive the last few years, and I can still get decent deals on epoxy if I buy it in kit form. So the price difference...
Good to know. Do you have a preference?
Looking at my next project hull and considering my resin choices. I'm not 100% on what core I will use just yet, but I need to nail down the resin...
They pop up for sale every so often. I got rid of mine recently after realizing the hull is both very lightweight and wood cored. I would look for...
Go back and reread the thread! They did not give an answer to the question, they gave opinions on outboards and possibly swamping, which had...
