I thought so too, but the description to what he linked too says it is suitable for fillets. I am not there, but my guess is the fillets are too big. Pictures are worth 1000 words.Noles309 wrote:You make the glue and fillets from the wood flour not the fairing material, which is the purple stuff.

PG25 Panga Build

Re: PG25 Panga Build
You get a stronger filet with wood fibers mixed to a peanut butter thickness, than you do with microballons. Make sure you have a good radius between the parts you are fileting a 3/4" is good as the fiberglass will lay well then.

Re: PG25 Panga Build
I decided to install the Rub Rail in order to smooth out the sheer and keep busy. I used a lamination of 2 @ 3/8" Okume and left it 1/2" high at the deck for planning. It took two fillets at the bottom edge to round it out. I then sanded the hard edge and covered it all with 9 oz. cloth for durability. I held it back at the bow 6 inches to keep the bow clean; it seemed too "pointed" to me otherwise. I rounded the rail the aft corners and at the transom. I'm getting it ready to cloth the bottom. All tips are welcome!

Re: PG25 Panga Build
It looks good from here. That glass was a little overkill but it will not hurt. It will be a very strong rubrail.

Re: PG25 Panga Build
I'm jealous! Always wanted to build a Panga, but the weather here (and my little shop) will dictate a P19!
Completed: FL12 GV10
Next up: P19!

There is a Panga 25 with a cuddy cabin:

Add a steering station with windshield and canvas and it will be perfect for your rainy area.

Re: PG25 Panga Build
I spent months thinking about exactly that Jacques, but my shop would have me building part of it out in the weather. It's ok, one of the first designs I considered was the P21 (also too big), the P19 will actually work very well for me, especially considering the tiny boat launch that I have access to. I'll order the plans in a couple weeks.

Re: PG25 Panga Build
I got an early start and 7 hours later, the Panga is all wrapped in glass! Now the fun begins!
Here's before and after pics. The photo doesn't seem to show it well, but it's all covered according to the lamination plan.

Re: PG25 Panga Build
PangaRon,
That's a pretty impressive days work. It looks great.
Can you tell me about how high Mt. Panga is at its highest peak? It looks huge in the pictures.
Thanks for posting updates.
