I think there are a lot more out there but simply not documented on this forum, maybe you can ask Joel (Shine) how many plans and kits have been sold over the years, that should more or less give you an idea

I seem to be a "do-er" rather than a "document-er" ! :lol:

Coming along steadily.

I had some issues getting it level, straight and square, even with the lazer level I bought especially for the job. Cummulative errors seem to be the problem so I pulled it all apart, upped the precision and started again. Everything is now within +/- 1mm.

Its a BIG sucker! Had to roll it out of the garage to get it all in a photo. I have the stringers cut and laminated, and the side and bottom panels cut out. Hope to get them spliced during the week for a big "stitch-up" this weekend.

I am really enjoying this.

This might be a good thing :wink: (or not :doh: :doh: ...it's hard to watch it come together if you "do" instead of "document" :P )
I've always liked this boat and am glad to see you building it 8)

Within 1 mm., that's accurate enough :lol:

Of course we'd all like to look over your shoulder as you work, promise not to get in the way. :) One reason to consider posting photos as you go along: if somebody here sees something going wrong or some way that it could be done easier or better, you might benefit. You may find a time that you want to refer back to a stage of your work, and good photo documentation might be just the thing. (that's two reasons- math never was my favorite subject). :P

Good progress Barraman,

I Agree with Pee Wee, more photo's = more help, but your build looks good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Happy Building...

Lining up the stations; there seems to be a common thread here (no pun intended) I had to take mine all down once and start over.....

This is such a cool boat - can't wait to see more pictures !!
My Son calls me "The Fish Whisperer" I love it !
