Back burner personal project. Will be laying glass soon though! Making her longer as originally intended.

Hull was all twisted, outer step was pushed up about 1.5" so i thrubolted those timbers to pull it back into plane with the keel, chine and other step. Crappy trailer support and rotted bulkheads allowed it.

Basically ground a big bevel half the thickness of the hull (1/4" or so afterward) and bridged the gap with 1/4" material. Jig was taken off the transom piece which was still in proper shape. Will layup half new thickness on the inside then bottom gets a similar bevel when its upside down.

A few diagonal strings pulled from bow to stern and the eyecrometer to get it all lined up.

2 outboards hanging off with a big platform and walkthrough transom i know will happen, the rest is up in the air.

Likely will keep the foredeck and first few feet of the trunk cabin and come up with a small house from there. Small folding second station on hardtop.

Will do a few layers on the bottom before i put the hullside molds up, easier to work with open access. Got some 60" wide biax that will make nice keel overlaps...

Oh yea! Great project!

That’s just cool.

I wish I could get my hands on one of those around here but I’m thinking the wife would be very displeased. Seriously jealous bro.

You sir have some hutzpah!

Good luck with the project. I am sure it will turn out as good as your others.

Is this out in front of your house on the Scenic A1A highway where I saw Squid Lips tied up across the street on the ICW a few years back while on vacation?

Hey Ken
You were close. Indian River DRIVE, near where I grew up. Didnt know Chris until a few years ago, but our kids knew his cousins. We sat with his aunt and uncle at football games at Martin County HS. Small world.

Love the jig...that’s gonna be real nice deep sea cruiser! Was surprised to see wood stringers? If you were closer I’d give you my 20 ma to finish up lol...
