Absolutely beautiful !!!! I Love Those Lines...I believe Wood boats are the most exciting to build because of the Rush you Get as the stage you are at comes together and the Imagination starts running ...Congrats...

Boat looks great Luke! I really need to get your pics up on my website. Maybe while I am stuck here in the hospital I'll have the energy to get it done. Keep on going as it really looks sweet!

A little 36" torture board action this afternoon

 

[LWalker]

More shaping today. I got the bottom from the transom to the front bulkhead to the 90% point and then started roughing in the sides.

 

[LWalker]

More shaping and fairing completed over the last week. I have the bottom/side shown to 99% today. I probably have 2-3 hours more on the opposite side.

Looks great. Those shadows don't lie!

Where are you located at in PC? I would love to stop by and check out the progress and maybe learn a little bit. I work for Gulf Power and I am constantly going from one side of town to the other. Keep up the great work man!

 

[LWalker]

I'll send you a PM

Really anxious to see how this turns out!!!!

 

[oysterbreath]

Looking good man!

 

[LWalker]

Thanks Guys! I put about 4 hours into it tonight and got the fairing to the 99% point. I plan to stare at it for a while and go over it again with a batten to make sure everything is good. I may laminate the other 3/4" piece to the transom if I get time. I guess it is time to order some plywood for the planking!

 

[LWalker]

Not a lot to show, but I did spend a good bit of time yesterday doing some general epoxy work. I got three coats on my limbers. I did a good bit of sanding/smoothing of thickened epoxy around the joints. I also had a few places that need some additional thickened epoxy. I hope to get my plywood ordered on Monday!

 

[LWalker]

Got the transom glued up tonight.

 

[LWalker]

Lift kit completed

Should be a better height for planking
