Boat Builder Central - Builder Forums

Saw some people who where interested in the panga 22 project so decided to start posting my progress.

This is where im at right now:

very nice, thank you for posting the pictures.

It looks like you hold the current record for number of shop dogs

Westpointers?
Btw very cool boat

yes 5 westpointers and 1 labrador

Looking good Bart! I see you used a lot of kerfs, makes it a lot easier yeah? Are you gonna put a bilge in her or scuppers? Trying to make up my mind on that one. And I see you have a 3" chase for the steering and what looks like 1 1/2" for the fuel and the other one is for electrical I'm guessing? Just wondering about your wiring, see if there's any ideas I can steal

Nicely done Bart. Look at the sheer on that sucker! I'm almost ready to start my PG22, can't wait. Thanks for the inspirational pics.

I think im gonne use scuppers. The second tube from the left is 2" and is for electrical. The kerfs made it a lot easier to bend i used 12mm plywood instead of 10mm so it was almost impossible to bend without the kerfs.

"It looks like you hold the current record for number of shop dogs"
Maybe in unlimited category, but Larry holds the current retreiver record.

Bart,
Nice job. Did you use soft or hardwoods on the splash rails?
On my PG 20, I'll use both a bilge pump and scuppers. The 20 is not self-bailing at rest from what I recall.

Just a suggestion, but I would run the electrical through that 2" before you glue down the sole. Those short turn 90's might give you a headache

Got some work done this week. Put the foam and the sole in place.

Looks like someone didn’t go to the carnival Nice Job Bart

PS you bought the foam here?

haha thats right to hot to go stand in the sun all day i bought the foam on another website dont know if i can post the site here... if you want you can call me 5286617

Just take an air compressor blow a string trough it with a little piece of foam attached to it, then pull the wiring with the string trough the pipes no headache at all

I ran my electric through 1.5" with short elbows no problem. It got a little crowded but everything went through in the end. I used a shop vac to suck a piece of wadded up paper tied to a piece of 100lb braided line, and then pulled everything individually (tie another piece of line to the wire you are pulling). Wished I had used 2" so I'm sure you will be fine.

Boat is looking great. Was my other choice when I was looking but it's too much for the 40hp motor I own. You and Peter are going to have to go fishing together!

What size scuppers would you guys recommend? i saw 52mm on the plans but with the choppy sea over here i think that there is gonne come a lot of water in the boat... so should i buy bigger ones?

Do the scupper have to be in the transom lockers or can you put them more to the middle?

That is probably 52 mm radius, 10 cm diameter.
I agree that large scuppers as safer.

here are some photos where im at right now:


started with primer on the inside:



trying out hardware on the console:

Looks good Bart Me likey the stitch and glue leaning post. Where did you decide to run your scuppers? I'm still debating wether to run them out the stern lockers or through the motorwell just on the other side of the motorwell dividers

Bart, it looks great man!
Those gunwhales are smooth, console and leaning post look great

whats the holder in the motor well for?? flag pole, green stick, center rigger???? just wondern'

Daniel

Bart she sure looks sweeet! Won't be long till you launch her!

Tom

She's looking great. Like the console and leaning post. They are made for each other.

@fonda: im running my scuppers tru the motor well
@colonialc: the pole is to do some surfing behind the boat if she is fast enough

i have a question about the scuppers. These are the scuppers i bought



I have my doubts about the scuppers because the transom in on a angle the ball is not above the hole but at the end of the scupper. anyone experience with these scuppers? also what kind of hole should i make tru the transom i was thinking about putting in a pvc pipe wit a diameter of 4cm does that sound oke?

thanks in advance

Bart I know this kind of scuppers a friend of mine had them on his Dusky, they work oke i.o. the ball will close of the hole when water enters because of driving backwards for example,although because of this ball they drain a little slow did you buy those at the Freedom machine? that shop also sells the rubber flap scuppers i think I would trade them in for those, but first wait for the opinion of others.
Your boat is looking great btw can't wait to see it drive the turquoise

Bart/Peter, Larry and I will both disagree with you on those scuppers, as far as we are concerned they are not worth a d***. Both of us had wet feet to often with them. The ball wil get off center and not seat or a little peice of junk will get in there and they won't seal. They just don't work right more than they work wrong. There was an other scupper discussion a couple of weeks ago when we discussed these.

Bart yes exchange them you'll be happy you did.

Look for something like this http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse. ... ,8104.html and these even have a shim so they set straight up and down or you can build one http://store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse. ... 15293.html

Tom

Tom I think we do agree I wrote "they work oke i.o",oke isn't good or great I also wrote "that shop also sells the rubber flap scuppers i think I would trade them in for those"

Peter I don't like a plain rubber flap either they tend to get twisted out of shape over time and not seal. Want something I can count on in a following sea or backing down on a fish to seal up.

Tom

We don't have that much choice here Tom It's either trade those in for those rubber flap things or buy others over the net and stay with those or trade them in for a complete different item

Just had a thought Peter if the rubber ones are all you can get bolt/epoxy a peice of metal to the outside. A couple of bolts and a peice of aluminum should keep them flat. or 3 or 4 bolts depending on there size.

Tom

It's either trade those in for those rubber flap things

I'd take the rubber flaps over the ping pong balls. They suck. Can I say that here? If so, they really suck.
