oh Barry I needed you this weekend! I actually installed a new SS sink and removed an old cast iron one... I had so may ?'s ...but it seemed to work out in the end...no leaks so far...in future we want to redo our kitchen (after boat is done) lol

looking for these plans...as I am getting close to this point thanks in advance\rm

I am pretty sure that is the mill I got my marine plywood from ordered locally in Iowa... i sure like the stuff (Meranti)

ss screws and douglas fir stringers

how come it seems it is much harder to screw in the side panels? I am having trouble stripping heads and unable to completely sink the screws even with pilot hole...any tricks?

is it better to set the maximum size allowed pic on the cam settings or resize them later?

I actually ended up using the original...pulled down nice...I could not get the deck- top lazarette stringer to take, so after braking three, I ended up using 3" pieces placed the width of the lazarette front back. then with cargo strap bent laz and attached it with little problem all by myself!

i recut a taller one...now i might try my original one first...did you cut out the access hloe prior to attaching? will weaken it fraid it will break if hole cut out first.

I was thinking...I do have another complete keel and stem...I made another seeking perfection..(ha ha) could I somehow cut off at the stem/keel joint and afixx it to the current one?

ok thanks...I might just live with it...going on vacation to the outer banks in NC and use my beach moaning chair! rob

I might come up from the Hawkeye state...

ok i have been in denial about the warp of my second keel... it seems when I placed all the clamps on it to keep the edges together it would not lie on the ground...I suspect this imparted my warp as it appears to be worse from the stem up. ]So I could (with sig aggrevation) some how replace it (bottm and transom already attached). In the long run will it really matter? My concern is how will I know where the center line should be to line the deck center line up with cuz its crooked can I send a photo to someone to post?

DVD would be awesome...my tape 1 is wearing thin. as for the bloopers, my entire project seems to be one! lol can we upgrade to DVD too?

hey Dave I'm a couple of hours south in Iowa...we go up north in July, hope to be where you are now by then....love to see your boat in person. rob
