Yes Chicken Parm you are right. but it is sexy.:P

You nailed the scale and form (lines) of the console to match the boat. I agree, she is sexy and getting sexier with the passing of each work day.

Thanks ,Smccormick and my man Bill, did you pick out your next boat yet.;)

Not yet on picking the boat. We have a 170 Montauk Boston Whaler that we bought new back in 2004 and we want to see how suitable it is in the Charleston area. We did live on the Albemarle Sound and the afternoons mostly pounded us but good with the SW winds. Waters here afford more protection so maybe we are armed with the proper boat. Gotta see how things go and decide what to do this winter. 

Maybe someone out there can shed some light on how or boat will do.

Actually  that is one perfect little boat for Charleston . As long as you stay in protected waters

Chris,

I am building an Ocracoke 24 ( see "Ocracoke 24, Lucky #13" thread) and am planning the interior finish. What type of foam board (thickness, density, etc) did you use for planking the interior? I was planning ply over the ribs but structural foam seems like a much better idea. I assumed that you glassed over afterwards? Beautiful boat, can't wait to see her on Charleston harbor.

 

Any advice appreciated

Thx, John McFadden

Thanks for the advice. I'd like to stop by the shop sometime. I'll send you a PM for phone number (if I can figure out how to!)

Thanks,

Chris,

 

My first post the build looks great?

I am also looking at building the same so my question is what size garage would I need for this journey?

I will be following this thread

 

Thanks Tom
