I kinda figured something like that but if you look at the pic the black lines up perfectly with the door or window in the back ground and that is what made it look odd.:cheers2:

Yes saw that when I looked again at the photo, It is unusual so I can understand the comment.

Did you connect the tie bar to include any ackerman angle?

Came straight off the tiller arm to the tie bar system,there was no compensation added, we had a heavy large OD SS Military tie bar that was made in house so it was easy to get the custom lengths for the fishing boats.

Thank you BTW I hate the old shoebox Hull/Deck type fit so I went this route which gave me a lot of freedom to shape plus a boat that was solid as a rock.

Catch up on some pictures here,Dave off to the right of those vacuum pipes there is a rack of Sanding tools,The way we worked here is the Vacuum level was set by myself and There was a high capicity throttling type regulator built in the system as well ,the crew is doing something as a pipe has been run out.

so you had one vacuum system plumbed throughout rather then a mobile type unit on a cart or something? Thats cool. I started using regulators on a vac system over the last few years as i got bigger/stronger pumps and i started using more epoxies. With the long cure times i realized if you were not careful you could drag just about all the resin out of a laminate. What is the max setting you would use?
i really those pneumatic clamps . . . . no chance of finding those at Harbor Freight huh?

On ester resins never more than 3 HG it will get spotty after that. The epoxies I start @ 5 HG and and then ramp up ,Infusion 27-28 or do not open the resin valve.
