When can we go for a ride?

Now that the holidays are over, we hope to get some serious time in. Probably a couple more months after work and weekends.

Had some time to figure out my scupper tubes as my transom area is 12" thick where my rear bulkhead is. I cut some 3" PVC pipe 14" long, bake in the oven at 350 for 4 minutes and formed my tubes using a plywood form in each end to hold shape until they cooled.

Got the front bulkhead epoxied in, front bow cap on, rear bulkhead with hatches cut to fit.

Got some time to fit the gunnels.

Got a little work done on the transom. Scuppers installed. Will cut flush with the transom when epoxy cures.

Very nice workmanship so far... hard part is just beginning? I feel like I'm watching NCIS for real... or is it for Reel?

Anyway, looking forward to following this project. How long before they will be in water?

Wish i lived a lot closer . . . truly admire the work and some of the really smart solutions you have incorporated

What power and how is it mounted ?

What is the estimated weight when done?

[welder]

And I'm with Gus, wish I lived closer . Was there any way to box out the scuppers to lower them so you will get complete drainage or is the deck getting built up more?

[Slough]

Very nice
