Hello... This looks just like my Grandfathers' boat in the Thousand Islands with an I/O... My Grandfather was a good man - but a bit of a potato(e)... As for innovation - his flag was a bit limp... SH.
For the innovation, go in to www.golden-cut.se. Nice to hear your grandfather was a good man Sean ;-)
Hello... I cannot understand why FRP remains a choice material amongst custom and semi custom builders - unless you are pulling parts from molds it remains the least cost effective and cost recovery material to build in... Aluminum - cut out your part - cut the largest rectangle out or of any scrap - recycle your flashing - always recovering cost and rolling over the material... Wood - well - you can burn it for heat and steam - then sell the ash to explosive or other manufacturers - or get drunk and whittle marshmallow sticks - ... The sound of the water from an inside berth against 1/2 inch wood planking versus a bit of drumming plastic is a real selling point - something that is comfortably human... I miss it... Best of luck... SH.
