Adios Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Overboard scuppers (incomplete, obviously) and a livewell. The livewell was built of gelcoat and glass over a mold to fit in the transom well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adios Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 5/4 inch teak coverboards. These were installed with gflex epoxy, no fasteners and the 22 ft radius bend was quite a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adios Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Sapele toe rails and out the door! We still have lots to do. Hardware, engine and electronics are all here and ready to go. There are a lot of small details, including all of the hardware cutouts to do before painting begins. I hope that I only have a 2 to 3 months to go. For those interested, I will keep posting. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adios Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 A quick update for anyone interested. The paint job is done! Most hardware and wiring is finished. I'll take her for an outboard motor this weekend and then a test float will follow. This has been a much longer project than originally anticipated but also very fun and rewarding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adios Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure about the weight but will wait until after the engine is on to adjust the trailer. The engine goes on this week and , weather permitting<,a test float this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adios Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Okay We have an engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adios Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Test Launch yesterday. I was nervous about the waterline because of the changes made along the way and because of the tendency for novices to overbuild. I floats nicely about 2" below the waterline with a 25% fuel load. The engine proved too high and we had too much prop pitch (20) , so we are making some adjustments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
