will you be using the plywood as the final frames or ar router templates? it looks like butt joints in the assembled ones??

also is it a screw and glue build or will you be building it to the specifications in the old plans?

and why not just build it with a straight drive and a cheap I4 engine ... something automotive? .. otherwise you could look into an IN/OUT/Reverse dog box from an old casale v drive... they are small and relatively inexpensive.. just dog engagement like a crash box.. but i dont think anything else will fit

ply are the frames, it's gonna be glue only, straight shaft is the plan, see other thread.

Did the designer specify engine rpm and prop size at WOT? Or did he just design the hull, and leave it the builder to experiment with engine and prop size etc, while at the same time trying to stay alive? :lol:
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip".

if you look at the casale v drive in this auction you can see the little "in out" box.. they also come with a reverse, and its the smallest/lightest transmission for a small straight shaft out there.. a velvet drive is big and heavy... but conected to a small v6 it would be pretty cool too

Stringers Afterplane

Jacques,

What do you think of stringer placement in the picture? (orange string line) stringers 8mm thick and 80mm high (same as frames), inside stringers will be cut with a transom knee support. At the bow I was thinking same dimensions, but one center stringer and one on each site (total of 3)

Jacques I'm almost on the point of glueing in the bottom panels, can you please explain your suggestion in earlier post under a little further?
And if it is as I drawn in the pic what location and how big should the holes be

Can you explain that a little more? I think it's more or less the same what the guys who are building tunnels in their hulls try to achieve or not? :doh: Should I put 2 holes (port and star) in the step under need the waterline and feed it air with hoses above the waterline? I tried to illustrate it in the pic at frame 9

Peter, I think Jacques is on a boat delivery for a couple of weeks and out of touch.

All, Jacques is on a boat trip but he is doing his best to stop at Marina's each evening with WIFI. Give him a couple of days and he will get back to you. Jeff
