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

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.

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.

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.
