Afishinado ,

Sorry I missed your post. We at CB have been watching Donnie's beautiful builds quickly take shape. I missed your earlier post and question because I went straight for the great pictures. You gotta love a nice bottom!

Anyway, we offer jigs and other components for various designs for cold-mold construction. Give me a call if you would like to discuss your needs. 919-655-8500. Or drop us a line at info@cb-boatworks.com.

We can take you on a live 3D tour of the designs over the internet if you want to really take a close look.

Hope to hear from you!

Safe boating

Looks awesome, keep the pictures coming. When I get a shop like that, I will definately have build one of my own.

sbd · 10-22-2009, 07:12 AM

Very neat. I'll be watching!!!

Great project, keep up the good work.

prockvoan · 10-23-2009, 03:36 AM

Your plans are for 1 or 2 plywood on the sides? One thing for sure is that your job must give you alot of time off.

nautiboyz · 10-23-2009, 08:01 AM

how thick is each layer of wood on the sides? they are butted flush to each other? how many layers of glass are you planing on doing?

nitz · 10-23-2009, 08:15 AM

Are you keeping track of how much you have in the boats $ wise? I'm curious as to how much it would cost to build something like this. It looks like they are coming out really nice! How do you keep from splitting those fir pieces w/ so many screws through them?

Prockvoan, Thanks. We really do try extremely hard to make the process as easy and fun as possible. That kind of sums up our mission in life.

[quote=parrott;2580764]Got a "couple more hours" in today. I may have to name this boat "A Couple More Hours".
Anyway, finished the one side up to the bow. Now that's what I'm talking about. That's "purdy".
2 layers of 1/4" plywood diagonal butted together go on the sides.
We are keeping track of dollars spent. Will try to tally what we have to date.
Some of the 3/4 strips split a little but the screws seem to hold just fine.
Still need to trim up the ends and sides

See the difference in the plywood? The back ply is a lot darker and
definately stiffer.[/quote

Donnie do you need a job? You guys are rolling with this build, you make it look easy. You guys are doing a awesome job are you sure you have never built a boat before? I see what you are talking about with the two different colors in the plywood if you have any of the dark stuff left use it on the inside. I have enjoyed waking up in the mornings a looking at the progress you have made from the night before.. keep up the great work and keep the pictures coming.

By the way Marc has the sq.yard's of glass all figured out for you. call him and he will give that to you.

Good job Guys,
It must be interesting building both boats side by side....certainly a lot of motivation not to fall behind.

Looking forward to seeing all the progress.

Can't wait for the flip!!!

Keep going you've got an audience,

Tom

triumphrick · 10-25-2009, 07:37 PM

Great job..you guys are rocking. Are those the new OSHA approved kevlar strapped flip flops??

Now, this may sound al ittle dumb, but have yet to see a build done before..are all the screws removed, holes fillled and sanded after the wood has bonded??

prockvoan · 10-29-2009, 08:10 PM

looking real nice. Got a question. On the sides. Could you get away with just one lay up of plywood and then 2 or 3 coats of biaxle glass and 1 matt? Inside just epoxyed?

Team Seadation · 10-29-2009, 10:23 PM

What type of epoxy are you using? What are you using to fill the screw holes once you remove the screws? Your build has really sparked my interest, Id love to have that boat in a 26-27 foot model. Whats your plans for the inside?Seems like the easiest thing would be to have someone glass it with a chopper gun...

The epoxy is a blend Gene had mixed for us. No need to fill the screw holes.They will fill from the glass job. 2 Layers of 1708 on the bottom and 1 layer on the sides.

Unless that is "magic" epoxy you had better fill the holes with thickened epoxy or you will have a total mess on your hands. Air in the holes will expand and you will have voids all over the place. Every coldmolded boatbuilder fills the holes with either thickened epoxy or wooden dowels of somekind. Why would you risk a catastrophe?

If the boat is small enough ( less than 18') you can get by with one layer but there is a trade off for everything. You will spend more time fairing the hull once it is glassed. Keep up the good work.

What size motor you thinking about powering these 2 with?
