  1. Hey Ron, congrats with the boat, she looks great! This gives me the shove I need to get into my build, can't wait for the photos of it in the water. Trev
  2. Thanks Rick for taking the photo/s. If you are not using foam flotation, what do you intend to use? I too have been reading the forums on the pros and cons and am interested in what would be the best. Trev
  3. thanks mate, As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words....... ps, forgive me if my questions seem a bit on the lame side, but I like to build it in my mind first.
  4. Hi Rick, I too am building the OB-20 and was wondering if there are any notch-outs in the transom (like the OK-20's) for the side and bottom stringers? How about a shot of how you have set up your transom. It's looking good so far. Trev
  5. Thanks Ron/Graham, that explains a lot and takes away the mystery as well. I get my load of ply this week coming and am keen to start. Your boat looks a treat Ron, enjoying the photos! Trev
  6. hey Ron Can you remember at what angle you started your sheeting for the sides? Trev
  7. hey Striperick, any more work done on your boat? trev
  8. White undercoat, whoops........sorry, grey will look just as nice!
  9. hi Ron, Wow, your boat is coming along great! The timberwork will look a treat against the white background. I agree with your comment about the satin vs the gloss varnish, especially when you have such a large area of natural timber as you have. I ordered my set of plans a week or so ago and am looking forward to getting them and starting. Your comments and pictures of your build were a real help in deciding to tackle this project. Ps, Without going back thru your posts, what size motor did you decide on? Trev
  10. Hey Ron, whats been happening with your build? Keen to see some more photos. Trev
  11. I had the same problem with a build of mine and found the power planner was an acceptable way of removing a lot of excess material like that. Looks like you suffer from every back yard boat builder......lack of room in our sheds? Trev.
  12. Thanks Ronny, I got my companion c/d yesterday in the mail and it has some great photos of a previous build on it which helps out also. Also, I picked up a copy of "Boat Design Quarterly" (No/42) thru the Wooden Boat Store, which has the OB-20 in it...not a bad read. When do you think she will be ready for the water? Anyway, keep up the good work. Trev
  13. Thanks Ronny, I will look forward to that. A very handsome looking boat. Trev
  14. G-Day Ron, Just a couple of quick questions, how wide is she at the transom and what is the height above the water line at the transom and bow? Build looks great so far mate! Trev
  15. I too think that the hull looks great and am thinking seriously about the build. I, (with the blessing of the designer) would like to build the boat without the cabin and just have an "open" boat, style tiller steer and probably keep a crawl space up front for dry storage. Whilst I don't have the computer skills that beauregard possess with photo chopping, I have to use my imagination to try to picture it. I think it would look o/k......anyone's thoughts? Trev
