Got the second layer of 3/4 on both transoms epoxied on. Removed all the screws in the second layer of the bottom and sanded the entire bottom. Also got a few more pieces on the side with the double curve working forward.

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.

Got the transom sanded to the conture of the tumblehome. Finished out the side going back to the transom and got a few more side pieces going forward. Starting to take some shape with that beautiful Carolina flair.

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.

parrott · 10-23-2009, 04:20 AM

2 layers on the sides. I work 40 hours a week. Usually stop by the shop for a couple hours everyday after work. We have worked some on the weekends when it's ugly outside.

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.

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

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

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.

Got a little more than a couple hours today. Finished up the other side of mine and Jeff got one side of his.

Gene

I will give you a call. We would like to get some of the plywood you were talking about for the second layer on the sides. We will use the darker ply for Jeffs bottom on the bigger pieces.

Fishovertime · 10-24-2009, 01:37 PM

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.

I know. I've read every boat build thread on here looking for information and the "flip" seems to be a big turning point. I keep looking at the pictures upside down to see what she will look like.

parrott · 10-25-2009, 07:04 PM

Got the first layer sanded and ready for the second side layer.
Played around with Microsoft Paint. A computer Flip.

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??
