lenm Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 looking good Riggs! Are you thinking anchor/rope forward of bulkhead #1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yup .. Just need to cut the hole for hatch Think i am going through the bulkhead as i was thinking about going through the top but that would be kinda silly i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggs Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 A few pics of the recent progress. Have primed the gunwhales, rubrails ETC. Made some new hatch covers as i did not like the others, still not sure about those either They seem to be curling up if that makes sense.Right now am working on the cap going forward. All in all a little closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenm Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Looking great riggs!! Not far off that milestone myself. Whats your plans for cockpit drainage? Is the design hight enough for self draining via suppers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks for the comments Lenm I have two 1" pipes that pass through the battery box and the live well and exit through the transom under the swim deck. Then over those holes are two ball style scuppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Very nice work Riggs ! I love that console . Maybe you can use 1/2 inch acrylic sheet as hatch covers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Thanks Lotus. I kinda modeled it of of some of the lines from your Marrisa console I am having a bit of a fit with those hatches as they seem to be fighting me. I machined up 3/4" Sapelle stock then steamed it for a couple hrs and clamped onto a jig to dry. When dry i biscuited them into board big enough for the job ( 3 separate boards) Which had a nice curve to them and when those had dried cut to shape and clued the edge on. All was fine for 3 or 4 days until they started to curl up . I am leaving them alone in clamps for a while to think about there future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Biscuits are for interior work. You want to use a spline and epoxy. If the end of the boards show, use a blind spline where the groove does not exit either end.As for steaming, kiln dried does not steam well, and the rule of thumb is 1 hour per inch. Not sure what you mean by "curl up'? Did the whole hatch distort as a unit? Another thought is to glue the boards for an' aft instead of across. Cover the hatch opening in plastic and glue the boards up in place following the slight curve. Then scribe and cut the frame to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah the whole hatch has started to cup so to speak. It was nice and strait when all finished but over the period of a few days it has distorted . Had thought about going for and aft but prefer the look this way. Maybe this pic better shows my grumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Ramage Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hello all! I’m a newbie to the forum, but just want to keep Riggs’ build alive as I’ve bought her from him. She’ll be fitted with a t-top, Awlgrip paint job and Suzuki 200 over the next couple months! I’ll start a new thread to keep her progress posted. See y’all soon, Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
