[Ludicrous]

Thanks Ludicrous

You saved me a lot of work.

Not much else to show right now just sanding and fairing.

This is a CBBOATWORKS jig. I decided to build and my gracious friend provoded the shop space so we decided to build 2 at one time. As you can see the progress from setting up the base to setting up the jigs. Start the keel, stringers, battens, shearband and chine logs. So far to date we have about 5k a piece with enough epoxy to complete(we hope, it's expensive)

You only have 5k into these at this time???

So I should be able to do the hull only on this for about 20k or less? http://www.cb-boatworks.com/home/our-designs/34-bluewater-express

Gene at CBBOATWORKS should be able to tell you pretty close on material for the 34. We still have to get some wood for the floor, gunnels, inside, etc. We are buying consoles already built. Transom bracket, hardware, wiring etc. We are hoping for around 10k for the hulls complete minus the engines. We've never built a boat before so not real sure. These jigs make this a pretty easy job. Just some woodworking skills are needed. We've read every boat building thread we could find and talked Genes head off up to this point. Seems every boat build thread we've read you see each person doing something a little different so it's not an exact science in building boats.

THAT is one helluva potato gun!

No, but seriously, you have your work cut out for you, but the progress you've made in the time you've made it is awesome.

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Impressive!!!

Impressive!!!

Thanks

Got the boats flipped Monday. Cut the transom tops and trimmed the gunnels.

[Ludicrous]

What colors and paint product are you going with? Any idea on the weight of each hull when finished?
