Parrott's Project

[parrott]

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?

We ground down the 3/4 plywood under the scuppers so the inside bottom of the scupper is flush with the top of the plywood and we are also adding a layer of glass to the plywood floor so draining shouldn't be a problem. We will be installing the brackets tomorrow.

What power and how is it mounted ?

What is the estimated weight when done?

150 Yamaha 4 stroke mounted on a D&D Marine bracket.

Not sure on the weight but we are told lighter than a fiberglass of the same size. We will weigh them when finished.

I started this thread to maybe inspire some guys that were maybe thinking thay would like to build their own boats.

Hey Parrot,

I'm in schooling right now for Naval Architecture, and I really appreciate the insight you've given during this build.

I hope to one day design and build my own line of boats, and your pictures are really helping me to visualize my design.

Where are you located? I'd love to see if I could come take a look at your shop and current progress one weekend.

I live in Morehead City NC. We are building the boats in my friends shop in Havelock. You are welcome to come by anytime.

Got some time to install the brackets Saturday. Will be working on bumper rails for the gunnels and tumblehome and splashrails.

Damn, I was hoping you were in Florida. I live in Jacksonville, so you're a little bit of a hike for me. Man, I'd really love to see the works though.

Please update us with pictures often, though. This has become one of my "check daily" threads.

Will keep updates coming, but won't be a lot to show as we start glassing the deck and insides. Putting on the rubrails will start soon and make some improvements in the looks.

You can do it. Biggest thing you need is a place to do it. These jigs make this easy and you can make it as fancy as you like or just keep it simple.

Got all the glass done and pulled the rounds inside both boats, now for some sanding, priming and fairing
