Boating Projects Forum

[auguste]

Was there or will there be a forum specific to describing in detail projects on the boats with lots of pics?

I thought that there was a discussion on this a while back.

Did I miss something? (again)

Gus, I had one then merged the threads back to the main forum.

I could have the boating projects area return if enough people agree it warrants it's own area. I mean, I thought it did.

While a projects forum may not have tons of threads (because document each project is a lot of work), I would love to somehow find all of the well document threads on projects that were done by RBers

One of the celebrities on this site did a number of how-tos on engine maintenance

A little birdie told me that a parrot was documenting the construction of a boat that HE was building

The forum would have to be real projects, showing the progress of the work, and what was done, before and after

I have started documenting the electronics installation on Miss Cecile and when finished I plan to post it here on RB

Other projects I have planned for the next 12 months are:

- mounting a spot light

- mounting a FLIR

- mounting a windless, which will include repairing of the deck, a soft spot

- installing a rod locker

- installing a complete second station in the cockpit

- installing cameras in the bilge and lazarette for safety reasons

- replacing two condensors, one for the bait freezer and one for the slush tank

- a bunch of small cosmetic repairs

- LED lighting in cockpit and bridge

Well maybe 24 months of projects . . . but that is beside the point

This would be a forum where we would show what we have done . . . whereas the boating forum is where we ask questions and hope for answers that solve the issue

oh well . . . back to my real world job . . . got to earn some money to pay for the projects
