Lotus Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Very slow progress on this build !!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccormick Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Very nice work. Â I'm always fascinated by seeing how others envision the end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 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   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 A couple of storage units and / or live bait well .  and shaping the end corners   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Tiger Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Those foam ends look lovely, Lotus. I see why you guys use that stuff. Peace, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thanks Chris and Robert. Yes that foam is much more easier to shape than wood ! Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 How much glass do you cover the foam with? Do you glass the back side of hollow constructions, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 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. Â May be some one more experienced will help us with these good questions !! Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Graham and Alan know all about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Beebe Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Wet out and use 1808 glass , you need the strength ,make sure you wet out your glass thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
