Ok, well tackled it and first starting using a chisel and once I got good traction I incorporated a grinder with heavy duty sanding disk via a method I saw on Youtube. Flipped it over and just used the grinder and got a real nice curving motion which seemed much easier. Have to sand the sides and mo...

Stem Gripe Joint
Well I'm at the point where I"m a bit frozen. Need to get past it but have read and read about the stam and gripe rabbets and the sophisticated cuts etc and have seen various methods. On Danenbergs site and read and re-read Chptr 8 but its pretty general and goes over my head a bit . Question: Whats...

Fuel Tank Basics
So while my hull is being slowly worked on , I'm looking to tackle some of the other large items with my tank being one of them. I have what I believe is the original fuel tank. While the original boat drawings show a cylindrical tank, the tank in my boat is rectangular. 1. Should I presume the draw...

Well stated Peter and I for one have found tremendous value for such a small price. Not pointing fingers in any particular direction but I've always found it odd to read posts of folks complaining about membership dues and the price going up etc when most of the members own hugely expensive boats wi...

thanks john. I get what you're saying about the battens across and touching all frames but want to make sure the correcsponding SB sides match the Port sides in terms of angle, depth etc. I was thinking about building a 2 x 4 beam across the top of flipped boat, port to SB across, level of course wi...

bottom frames transom to bow
So let me see if i can state this clearly as it may come out sounding confused. I purchased $250 worth of line drawings from CC archives but may not have gotten ALL of the correct drawings i needed. I have my bottom frames redone (cut from original templates) which were not all that well even and al...

Frame and Bilge Paint Question
I see a lot of pictures of folks rebuilding frame members and lining up the keel and stem/gripe etc and assembling the entire thing or what looks like an entire assembly with screws etc before paint??? Is the preferred method to build and then paint the frames and bilge after its all together? How d...

Ryan, love to go out on that beautiful thing! You mentioned the ICW and I was just talking to a friend about wanting to find a sedan and restore her and take down the ICW to FL. I lived in Jacksonville a few years ago and had a 24' deck boat I used to put in at St. Augustine...... ahhhh, miss those ...

can only speak on my experience but my 16' runabout was in bad shape. I wedged it up on blocks and pulled an old trailer (modified with carpet covered bunks) underneath and fastened it down. Nothing special as long as its secure. If its in bad shape, then whatever gets it there in one piece. More im...

agreed, i don't see much penetration to new wood but have been slapping on two coats nonetheless. I'm assuming I get good penetration but have been waiting several days but now that I know I likely don't have to, it should speed up the process somewhat. Using the bilge paint right on top of the CPES...
