OMG Steven, 😲😲😲. that donation is massive and absolutely amazing. I have never had a super thanks before so I'm clueless on how they work. But all I can say is thank you very very much. it will be a huge help and every penny I get will go in to the boat fund and really help to get more done. Your a legend Steven thank you so much. I really do appreciate it more than you know.
As a sheet metal worker, my first intuition on how to approach this job on my boat what exactly what you showcased, thanks for confirming it and thx for the little side tips you gave 🙏🏻 liked and sub
No it makes no difference at all Scott. They are Purley a mold for the glass. Once the glass is in and done that's the strength then. But the closer I get the foam it will make them easier to glass in
Looking good Dave ,when are you expecting to have it completed?👍🏼👍🏼 Off topic,but check reel seats on the casting specials,mine was loose and had to have new reel body replaced by Penn under warranty,apparently known problem on some reels.
It's really hard to say. I'm hoping it will be fully ready by may next year. It could be done a lot sooner tho the boat shell could be finished by August or September. But then I have all the bright work and all new wiring and electronics etc. The only thing that will slow it down now is the budget as it's gone lol and gone way over budget. So when it comes to a rewire it's going to slow down but I may be wrong.
Don't know if you know or not Dave but you need a tiny gap between the stringers and the hull say the thickness of a matchstick. If you have them tight it will cause stress cracks in the hull. Bed them down on marine sealant.
Ye there's gaps some bigish. I have used a glue to hold them in place for fibreglass. Also it shouldn't cause stress cracks as the foam is a lot weaker than the fibreglass hull. The stringers have no strength etc it's purely to mold the glass over if there was a way I could take foam out after glass was set but there isn't a way lol so it's staying
Yes Steven it does big time. I really can't thank you enough words don't feel good enough. Every penny I get will go in to the boat building fund. Thank you again Steven it's appreciated more than you will ever know
If you are into useless information, as for the tool you made to trace the outline, ancient cultures hung a weight on it as a plumb bob to keep it straight up and down so as to make it more accurate.
Thanks!

Thabk you I really appreciate it. I hope your build goes well
as the stringers are going to be fiber glassed in does it make a huge difference if its not spot on the the bottom ??
No it makes no difference at all Scott. They are Purley a mold for the glass. Once the glass is in and done that's the strength then.
But the closer I get the foam it will make them easier to glass in
Good job! A pointed felt marker might work also.
I imagine it would bob it's a good shout

What kind of foam are you using?
This is called celotex. It's a polyurethane foam. It's insulation board
A washer on a round marker or pencil works a treat for marking too.
Ye that would be a great idea too. Thanls for your comment
What kinda foam is it mate and how many mm
It's polyurethane foam and it is 50mm thick. I used polyester resin so it dont melt it.
@@C3BFA thanks mate cheers for that
@@therukugorillazaotearoa_ no worries at all
How old are you how long is your boating carrer going to last. I put plywood in for 20 years after that I wouldn't need that boat
I'm 36 hopeful 20years +
I won't own this boat forever, it will be sold one day but the next owner with get a very well built vessel

@@onenewworldmonkey I don't think that's useless information it's a good tip
