update time, we are ready for more glass. finished all the wood, well most of it last night. here is a few pic's of the bilge. the boat never had bulkheads on the out side of the stringers before. were the card board cut outs are will be 2 more bulkheads when i get the motor mounts lined up.

 

[baronmarine]

here is a couple of pics of the front stringers that will be under the front floor. they only went to the front bulkhead before, but now they will be full length. the 2x4's are only holding every thing in place.

 

[baronmarine]

here is the last 2 pic's of the wood cut and sitting in place. in the front above the front bulkhead i add 2 small bulkheads from the floor to the chine and freeboard, also added a bulkhead to the very front of the bow. this should stiffen things up. it took me almost 3 hours to get it out of my shop tonight. going to bring it to a friends shop wednesday. he has much better heat then mine, and start on the glassing.

That engine mount looks deep, don't you think the X dimension should be way higher? Or is this just to get the stringers spaced correct?

the trans mount is almost on the bottom right now, more for the width of the stringers. also i'm using a arneson asd 6 surface drive. so the whole package sets pretty low, not much higher then it is in the pic's. i did make the stringers in the bilge area 2" taller so if i go back to a merc style drive package i can move it up.

Todd , its all good and glad to hear things are picking up for you . Todd, i just had three medical procedurers done along with a four day stay in the hospital last week which i really needed to have done before spring considering i have been keeping busy myself along with sue getting a new job back in her field (Respiratory Therapist )which helps tremendously because things are running a whole lot smoother if you know what i mean . Todd how is Sherrie and the Kids and did you go to Irons much this winter ?
