Looks pretty good from where I'm sitting. How long is it from fore to aft? And how tall is the outlet at the transom?

What thickness ply is the top piece made of and do you plan on venting it? I picked up some 1.5 inch SS 90 degree thru hull fittings for a project I was working on that didn't have enough thread on them for that project. I need to measure them but might be able to save you a dollar or two if you're interested in one of these for the vent.

Tim, I'm almost afraid to give the dimensions, don't feel like changing it. :lol:
It's 24" long, 14.5" wide at the front, 1.25" step at front, 4" tall at outlet, 6" wide at top of outlet and 9" wide at the bottom. You had most of the dimensions in your build thread, the others were scaled from prints of your build, hope you don't mind me pirating your design. :)

The plywood top of the tunnel is .5" and I do plan on venting it, you said that you had a baffle in your tunnel but I can't see it, tried to PM you and couldn't get a response so I did a little research and decided to vent the top just aft of the front, where did you put yours? If that fitting is long enough I could sure use it. Thanks for the offer.

Hit some pretty good licks on the GF12 this weekend. Only got a few hours in Saturday, had a hockey game in Denver, but did real well today. Glued the stringers in Saturday morning.

Had to get the boatbuilding dawg involved this morning, think he has a little epoxy on his foot, he's been biting at it all afternoon.

Tabbed the stringers down this morning and glued in the frames this afternoon.

An overhead shot of the tunnel, stringers, transom and rear frame, should be pretty strong.

Paul was telling me about how you've been all over the place with that kid. He's fortunate to have parents that support him like you guys do :D

Thanks George. We have fun with it. The hockey season is so long (Aug-March) that most of the families get to know each other pretty good. Especially after several seasons together! :help:
