Well I got quite a bit of interest and comments on my first build, "the blue center console I just finished" so I figured I would share my next and current project. I started about a month ago when my boat was out getting the aluminum work done and construction halted when the center console came back to get it finished for the fishing season. Now im ready to get back to construction on this boat. It is actually a custom build for someone that liked the center console so it will share a lot of the same finishes except this boat will be Fighting Lady Yellow. It is 17' long with a 7' beam and will have a 90hp engine. Hope you enjoy. Here are a few pictures leading up to its current stage.
Next step is planing all the chine logs, keel, sheer bands, and gunnel bands. Then to two layers of planking.

Wow
Hope I did not keep y'all working too late Friday. Will post a report from my visit later when I have time.
Y'all deserve all the success you'll have in the future. Wish more in our generation would ignore the fair, town festival, and football game going on while y'all prepped and painted. Sacrifice and dedication are understatements.......

Haven't got on your website yet (I have to get something done today!!) but keep these posts coming! Really appreciate watching the whole build process. |

Oh who could forget sanding! progress has been steady. You have the qualifications to sand. However if you have been enjoying the build we wouldn't want to ruin you by pushing a block!

LOL! definately a solid boat. there are some extras like real teak floor and covering boards, and the center console with the electrically actuated top center console and solid leaning post that are upping the weight but it all should look amazing!

I keep looking at your trim tab wells and I can't understand or figure how they are going to work
Not stupid  I'm almost certain those trim tab recesses are for QL Marine (Volvo Penta) tabs. They are very different from standard tabs. See http://www.great-water.com/pages/QL/QL_Trim_Sys.htm
If you look at the pic of the tabs, the recess will make sense.

The 21' is around, we have been wating on some teak but it has come in. We will dry-fit everything and make the helm pod. Then its off to paint. I keep telling Joel we will have it done in time to run to the ledge for some mahi........... |
