Steve: Any new sea trials information? Thanks: Paul T

Steve: Regarding the prop. I did a fast scan through the build about the final prop selection. You indicated that a 10 x 14 was your choice and had been vetted by folks at prop shops and other builders. I haven't been able to find an indication if that was indeed what you have on the boat. My curiosity has to do with the speed you have been seeing while under way. Does the tach indicate you are running at or near the 3000rpm level you had estimated after you had adjusted the throttle stop? Thanks: Paul

Steve: Thanks for the updates. Looking forward to seeing it in the water again! Thanks: Paul T

Steve: Thanks for the update. It will be interesting to see the modifications to the rudder. The process of de-bugging is always there on a new project. This has been very interesting to follow. I like the look of the new coaming. it'll look nice bright. Sincerely: Paul T

Steve: You guys did a super job.. And got her in the water really quickly. I'm sorry I missed the launch but thanks a bunch for the pictures. Congratulations to you and Wally Sincerely: Paul T

Steve: Thanks again for the update. Looking forward to seeing the trailer under the boat .. It really is great progress, one year. Amazing. Sincerely: Paul T

Steve: Thanks for the update. The boat is looking great. Sincerely: Paul T

Steve: Third and final lamination on the gunwhales?.. What thickness ply are you using on this? Clamping or setting screws for each lamination? Thickened epoxy? Thanks Steve.. What a great project! Paul T

Steve: Forgive me if I have overlooked it, but what is the fuel cell capacity? Thanks: Paul T

Steve: Thanks for the updates. Great pictures offering much information. Ssincerely: Paul T

Steve: Thanks again for the info Sincerely: Paul

Starting to get Rescue Minor construction withdrawal :-? Hope things are okay.. Sincerely: Paul

Steve: In the second picture, what is the small tubing from the engine to the drive shaft for? Thanks: Paul T

Hi Steve: Question regarding your choice of a diesel. I haven't ever used a diesel motor but being around them from time to time, on occasion there is a very strong odor from the fuel. Is this a normal "feature" of having a diesel in a boat? Or the result of poor fuel storage and delivery in the boat, or perhaps the design of the system? Also... What kind of wood are the motor mount logs made of? Thanks: Paul T

Steve: Thanks for the updates. You guys are knocking that boat out! Thanks again: Paul

Steve: Thanks for the updates! Keep'm coming please Regards: Paul T

Steve: Last weeks progress looks great. Eagerly waiting this weeks installment. Sincerely: Paul

Thanks Steve. Sincerely: Paul

Steve: That's great!. Another milestone reached. I gather from the photos that the inside of the bottom and side panels were coated with epoxy prior to attaching to the framework? (sorry if I have missed that part) Or you worked really fast after turning it over (probably not) Sincerely: Paul

Steve: Thanks for the pic's. Always eager to see your updates.What primer did you use and did you put it on with a roller? Thanks: Paul T

Steve: This is looking great. I'm amazed at the speed of your build. Sincerely: Paul T

Thanks Steve..Keep'm coming! :grin: Thanks: Paul T

Steve: You are using 3/8 ply on the sides of the boat and below the chine, correct?.. What are you using on the flat keel area? Thanks: Paul

Steve: I'm new here and am definitely interested..Please keep the pics coming. I have recently ordered plans for the RM and have a vested interest so to speak. Thanks, and it's looking good. Paul T
