Good morning, I'm writing from Italy.
First of all, sorry for my English, not perfect for sure.
Since I was only a child I dreamt about building a boat on my own.
In the last years I successfully restored two boats maded in fibeglass and plywood, a " Ghibli Senior Zaniboni " now aged 35, and a very old "Fjord 24 DC" now aged 51, modifying tigis last from sterndrive to outboard , addying an outboard on a bracket. I've done every reparation and structural work by myself. I studyied and practice as aeronautical engineer when I was uoung, so I'm able to read drawings, project, bluerint, electric LEM schematics, and I'm skilled enought in simply electric and Hydraulic works. In the last 18 years I worked as industrial
liquid spray painter learning how to work in fiberglass lamination and repairing too.
I' ve an on my own business placed in a +1000 square area.
This long introductuon to introduce myself and my ability.
Now...it's time to do it, I think I'm ready to try! I'm skilled and equipped to do it!
Searching for a boat project that fits my needs I really aprreciate CS25 in jump cabin version with outboard bracket installation.
Before buy plans i had a look on study plans and I found probably problems in okume plywood thickness...
Plans required thikness are 6,9, 13 and 19 mm. Sorry for metric...I'm italian ; it's not a problem to convert it , the possible problem reagards available thikness here in Italy
Local dealers sell 6mm ( ok ) and 19 mm (
ok ) but don't sell 9 and 13 mm
Instead of this last two I found 8-10mm and 12-15 mm instead 13.
Now...before buy the plans I'm asking if I can use a little different thikness okume panels without substancially modify in originale project.
I'd like to use CE, RINA ( European certifyed, Italian Naval Register Approved ) plywood okume panels to build this boat cause I need to have a boat RINA certifyed ( without RINA certification in Italy You can't go as far as 6 NM from the coast line...not enought for my needs) .
Is it possible to use these different thikness without substancially overturns from the original project?
I'm not thinking I can't do that...I'm thinking abput scrupolously follow original plans reaching RINA certification once the boat is finished .
What about that???
That's a really important doubt I got to solve before to order plans!
I just buyed an Honda BF 250 hp for my Fjord 24 ( that's an heavy boat, about 2500 kg ). This motor is about 300 kg weight and 50 hours now.
What I'm wanting to do is to build a CS25 jump cabin version with bracket and use this new engine on it.
Do you know something about the possible performance about this boat with this engine? Max speed acheivable, and most important , consumption when navigate at 4200 rpm, ( my boat move at 24 kts with tis rpm ) consumption 25 L/H.
Thank you all for reading this long writing, I apologise about it and for my english.
Wishing to have answer to my question
Have a Nice day
Daniele
