Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2015 4:56 pm
Hey all..
having built a pair of GF14's and lurking and planning.. I've decided to build the GF14 replacement before diving into a bigger build... i have given my self 2 weeks time to do some R&R and build the boat... i know its wildly optimistic, but im aiming for a relatively complete boat without a cracker finish.... just want a fair running surface and ok work/fish/play like finish....
i have a lovely assistant who have decided that it would be fun to build it together... so the female in the pics is my girlfriend ...
day 1 started in the afternoon, with building a pair of saw horses ... didn't have to be pretty and they didn't turn out that way either... threw a set of strongbacks together and marked the first lines on the 1/4 inch PW ... on to cutting gluing sides and cutting the rest of the plywood tomorrow... stay tuned (will post pics as soon as photo bucket starts cooperating)
