Thanks, Frank,,,,It looks like he did some different things with rails, and a square front to the cabin,,,(not too sure about the reasons for that one)
But,,,a beautiful boat nevertheless (whew, that word got my typing finger tired all by itself),,,,,Remod
I know what you mean, Steve. The keel was my first experience withplastic resin cement, and I was quite surprised how fast it set up. I actually ended up usind a "hot dog" roller to get the glue spread out fast and evenly. I also found out that in extreme heat,,add a little more water.
Well, Congrats, bud. I hope to get back on mine in the morning,,,today was "recovery day", a few naps to try to recover from 35 hours of overtime from call week. amazing the calls you get when you have severe thunderstorms every single evening. I definately learned the power of lightning! That's another story for another time. Keep us updated.
Sharing your excitement, Remod
Hey Hey Hey! Congrats, Dapip, ummmmm,,,,shhhh,,,(whispers),,,this is addicting, possibly illegal in some states, but don't worry, we'll keep your secret. Remod
I had noticed that the builder of Elusive II used 3/4 on her hull, got me thinking. Actually,,,what got me thinking was the 3 inch extension to my arms after loading and unloading 40 sheets of 3/4 plywood :?

Ps,,congrats on your new sponsor, and, if I've forgotten , Thank You Frank for all your hard work putting together and maintaining this site!
Not that I'm planning to use it, but, after reading some of the posts, and after just dismantling 20 ft high storage racks decked with 4x8x3/4 AC plywood, I started wondering if using 3/4 ply for the hull bottom might add some of the bottom weight that some feel might be usefull to the weekender. Any thoughts? Remod
She's got pretty lines , Zero,,,looks like your on a homeward reach now. I think finding the time won't be too hard ,,,the hard part will be making up excuses other than "I was working on my boat" to satisfy employers, friends, and family who's sahred time you'll be using up finishing Lizzy!

Glad to see ya at it again, Andrew. I hope to start my plywoods this week,,,,I've been "on call" all week,,,ans I think durn nearr all of our 3500 properties have called! It's been rather eventfull,,,with the rash of thunderstorms we've had every evening. Spent 20 straight hours on damage control after one of our condominium buildings was struck by lightning. Amazing the myriad of problems that caused!
Well, keep us updated, bud,,and good cutting to ya! Remod

Ever since I first accidentally found The Weekender on the web, I followed every link there was. I've followed the various builders forums, and website updates. I can't thank All Y'all enough for the help you hand out to everyone with your posts and your websites! I hope to continue that tradition. http
