Charlie Jones Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 The keelson and stringers are all installed, and the after part of the hull is beveled, up to the temporary frame. Today I start installing hull bottom to the stern. Spent yesterday releveling all the bulkheads and doing fillets on each bulkhead . I stopped the fillets short of the chine area so they won't interfere with the filleting and taping later. I also made them a bit smaller than they will ultimately be. I did this filletting now so the hull would be somewhat stronger when I roll it over. I'm holding the boat up with temporary legs screwed to each frame. The floor of my shop is a bit rough in spots and the entire structure had a tendency to move around, thus finding it's level of "unlevel" I filleted the temp legs to the floor- THAT stopped THAT Working on another photo essay of installing the stringers- hope to do it tonight or tomorrow.
