HBREW Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I have started assembly on my Shad sof after receiving plans last week. I cannot see how frame 2.0 will attach to the stern or frame 15.7 will attach to the bow. These frames appear to be undersized. Is there something I am looking at wrong or misunderstanding?

HBREW Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Ha guys, after looking at it after I made his post, I think I figured it out. Would like to withdraw this post.

even-keeled Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm not familiar with Shad's design, does the bottom notch at each frame accept a bow/stern or a stringer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
even-keeled Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok, I think I see it too. It looks like you'd clamp them with Titebond III to their appropriate bow/stern piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBREW Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I guess I need to reopen this post as what I thought I resolved doesn't work. If this plan calls for a tab and slot method for bow and stern assembly, frame 2.0 and 15.7 do not have slots, but it appears the stern and bow are designed to go through slots. The brackets for 2.0 and 15.7 block the stringer slots when the frames are put in place also. There is a possibility I could fit the stern but the bow assembly to me does not look possible. Would someone shed some light on this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The frames rest on the bow and stern ends, on the long tab at the back, not on top of the stringer like the other boats. You mount the frames to the brackets while on top of the bow/stern end. Once you start lashing stringers it is gets very solid. I am about to build a shad and will have a photo in a couple of days if you need it. Just finishing up frames today for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Grabbed a couple of photos while preparing the frames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBREW Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Thanks again for the information on the bow and stern. I have come across another issue I would like some guidance on. My instructions say to cut the Floor Boards 6-3/8" by 35" long. It appears these are to be installed between 6'11" and 8'7" pretty much flush with the ends of the frames about 21" on my frame. This seems to be how they are on what I can find on the forum. Please let me know the correct length. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looks like we overlooked the notes when i redesigned the frame. so yea, that is little long. I am about to start to assemble the SHAD in the shop this afternoon of tomorrow morning. I can verify on the boat what it needs to be but you need 1"-1.5" past the frames. Just enough to drill the holes to lash the seats in the place. Don't hold me to this but I think 24" is about right. If you can't wait just measure and add the extra.
