Sanded and ready for the next layer

 

[LWalker]

I got a good session in today dry fitting the second layer of planking.

 

[LWalker]

I cleaned up the leading edge of the planking at the stem so this side can overlap. I also got about three more planks fit.

 

[LWalker]

Started laminating the second layer

A couple more of the large planks done

Do I get 1/2 a whiskey?

Amazing. I love the style of that boat and it is going to be awesome.

Do you still have the other boat you built on here? Any new pics of it?

Oh yeah, I still have it. I have not done anything else to it besides use it. Although, it does not see a lot of use during the summer months because we typically use our bayboat for summer activities.

Second layer cleaned up. I have a little more fairing to do on the framework and then I will get on to planking the sides.

I am sure this has been asked and answered but what is this boat gonna draft? I love this boat, it has the mix of old world and new world.

Timm says 6". Looking forward to oysterbreath getting his in the water to see!

 

[DuckNut]

Dude...you are going to finish before oyster, Rosco, AND Shalla

Just sayin'

 

[LWalker]

I did a couple hours of fairing this morning to get the framework just right. Then I started planking the sides. I made it to the transition joint. Now the fun begins!

I finished up dry fitting today with some supervision from my new pup. I have to order some more epoxy before I can start gluing this up.

Correct Permit, German Shorthaired Pointer. Thanks!

Since my last update, I faired the bottom with a cabosil and West 810 mixture that learned from a big boat builder. It sands very close to the surrounding wood. I did this to make it easier to fair since I will be adding my reverse chines before I plank the sides. With the reverse chines in place, it would have been hard to long board. The bottom is ready for glass at this point.

After that I glued up the planks up front, back to where the reverse chines start.

Checking fit to ensure 5 degrees



Testing fitting





Next, I will get the reverse chines glued up and then continue gluing up the rest of the planking.

That hull has such beautiful lines.  I'd love to see one actually on the water.  You have a very good chance of beating Oyster at the rate he is going.  Keep up the good work.
