[Guest Chris Beebe]

i like it. Hey do you need some clamps

[Action Tiger]

HA HA! Do you know where he could score some?

[Lotus]

Thanks Robert.

 

Better keep those clamps Chris, you might need them some day !!!!!!!!!

[Guest Chris Beebe]

You,re right ,when you got four boats going on you need clamps  

[Lotus]

That's why I asked you to be your employee      

[Guest Chris Beebe]

Any time you want a job you are more than welcome. Thanks, Your boat is kick ass . 

[Guest Chris Beebe]

HI Lotus how is the Boat going

[Lotus]

Hi Chris, this month was too busy at my work, just had only a few time to spare for the boat   . Hope next month will find time to glue in and shape the foam on the other side .

 

BTW your 20 is getting nice. I lice the way you covered the inside. She looks much more neath ! 

[Guest Chris Beebe]

Thanks.

[Lotus]

Very slow progress on this build !! 

 

[smccormick]

Very nice work.  I'm always fascinated by seeing how others envision the end product.

[Lotus]

Thanks smccormick !

 

Changing plans at stern to accommodate 2 outboards mounted on transom . Main motor  + auxiliary .

 

On Piranha ( Marissa 18 ) I used an external , height adjustable bracket for the auxiliary motor but these type of brackets put the motor and its weight about a foot further out from the transom that made a huge difference in boat behavior 

 

At starboard there will be space for 2 batteries for weight distribution

 

 

[Lotus]

A couple of storage units and / or live bait well .

 

and shaping the end corners

 

 

[Guest Chris Beebe]

Wow that looks awesome. nice Job.

[Action Tiger]

Those foam ends look lovely, Lotus. I see why you guys use that stuff.

Peace,

Robert

[Lotus]

Thanks Chris and Robert. Yes that foam is much more easier to shape than wood !

How much glass do you cover the foam with? Do you glass the back side of hollow constructions, too?

[Lotus]

It's the first time I'm using this foam , so can't realy answer your question Chick . I was thinking of 2 coats with 20oz cloth will do , but I will test this as I go along . Think hollow constructions mast be glasses from all sides.

 

May be some one more experienced will help us with these good questions !!    

[Chick Ludwig]

Graham and Alan know all about it!

[Guest Chris Beebe]

Wet out and use 1808 glass , you need the strength ,make sure you wet out your glass thoroughly.
