Have you ever tried Fisherman Friends cough drops ? They work great for when getting a cough. Do you think your CG will change a bit with raising the pilot house? The GB boat I saw in Paducah on the water I mentioned on one of your earlier videos told me how rolly his boat is. More than he expected. He had put 1500lbs of concrete in the bilge and felt he needed more. Happy Thanksgiving. 🍁
@@jimreid67 I think the cough is irritation from something I'm working with in the shop. I'm going to take a couple of days off, then make sure I mask up when the dust flies. The CG will move up some by raising the pilot house. One thing George said was you'd have to test the boat for stability after it was in the water. I've got 1,500 pounds in there now, just to get it into areas that aren't accessible later in the build. I'm guessing I may need at least 2,500 pounds more ballast, but I'll wait until the boat is in the water to determine that.
Yes to the flush deck- the drop down at the bow never made much sense. Not sure about raising the PH, the COG question is a fair one. Visibility wasn’t one of my issues but I do have to duck my head in the engine room.
@DieselDuck48IoBuild-rp4dn Could be long term exposure to dust just starting to appear? Wood dust isn't nice for lungs and you're working with epoxies and fairing compounds. They're probably even worse. Even if you mask up, if you don't have filtration it can linger in the air for a while and when you walk back in you kick up the stuff that has settled to the floor.
Thank you for the update. Hope you'll feel better, take care of yourself.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks! Happy holidays to you as well!
