Sea Sled madness. It’s in my brain.

Massive bulkheads, 4-5' apart. Bulkhead spacing varies with internal arrangement. But that is very reassuring. Thanks.

 

After two lifts and 4 hours long boarding. Edges will be last. Pro drywaller helped on other hull, but he got schooled on edges last.

Here is my pockey issue.

 

I use Quikfair at the end to fill all the pockey spots.

Give others a chance to coin in on glass. I think my advice is sound, but would like to hear others.

 

We use a rubber edge tool and batknives on the edges. Quikfair is much nicer there, too. Maybe someone can help with a mix modifier to get the fairing mix tuned in. (Soap? Hehe)

 

Air mixed in with your compound, looks like. In drywall we call that pinholing. When I mix, I make sure that the jiffler never gets close to the surface. But that might be hard with such a small batch

 

Lol! Soap. I still catch guys adding that. Give them a clout around the ear hole. I tell them "give yer mammy a call, get your balls out of her purse."

 

All hand mixed. It is air entrainment, but no way can I get it to go away. Soap.

on your chine; if the chine is low to water at the bow; ain't u worried about hogging in on turns? Mebbe I don't follow is all.

 

The original patent from 1914 (for the hull form: surface piercing propellers were patented in 1912 I think) has a simple W shape, with sharp chines at the bottom. It was considered almost impossible to broach.
The impact on the market was hard to overstate. But in crazy maneuvering it could trip, and was always a little hard to steer. As in, didn't want to turn. So Hickman invented and patented the non-tripping chine. And then they built about 10,000 more. My chine is not like Hickmans original patent. It's more like the Jackson version from around 1955.

But you're right. Those original chines were a little too grabby.

 

My Sea Sled will be named Serenity. We could all use a little of that, these days.

 

I usually go rent a houseboat every year in June in Ontario. The resorter told me Friday he doubts borders will open in May.

 

He may be right. Last time our borders were closed was what, 1812?

 

Doesn't matter if it is steel, aluminium, or composites
Far too many people want to cut corners rather than doing things properly from the outset!

Quality takes time, sloppiness takes seconds.

 

Another thought came to mind. If you use all db1200; you probably get a volume price break.

A hundred yard roll is 4.49/

 

That sounds promising. Is that from the Toronto supplier?

 

Yup. Call and ask for Jason and tell him Dan Fall sent you.
