Okay, This time I have looked before posting!! Is there on indication on the plans of the amount of overlap there should be on the top and bottom panels. There is a visible line on the drawing on the bottom panels but I dont see a measurement.

Thanks

Alan

I found in one of the forums here a mention that the overlap from top to bottom panels on the OB15 is 1.5 inches, anyone 0B15 builder know if that is correct?

There is a line drawn on the panels drawing. Line up the bottom panel with that line and that's it.

Yep the line is there on the drawing but how do I transfer that to the timber. I don't see any measurement on the drawing for the thickness of the line.

You don't need it. If you build as I explain in the notes, the panels will get in place automatically.
See the step by step construction drawing:
- assemble the molds on the strongbacks
- drop the bottom panels on
- install the side panels: line up the sheer with marks you made on the molds and the offset appears automatically.

You have to mark the sheer on the molds. I show the location of the sheer on each mold.

The sheer is at 143 from the baseline.
Or 610 from the keel or 412 from the chine.

Cut that mold from those dimensions and mark the sheer corner.
I like to clamp a small batten there to support the sides, nothing to measure.

Looking at layout and Im not going to install the console so the boat would driven from sitting at the outboard. Now the motor well it there and from the current layout you would have to reach over the bulkhead of the motor well. Would it make sense in this case to turn the motor-well into a seat by lowering the bulkhead and putting a seat top on it. I am concerned this might compromise the strength of the motor-well. Anyone changed the layout in this way on the 0B15 OR 18?

The outboard tiller will go over that bulkhead, no problem. You may want to use a tiller extension, they are cheap.

If you absolutely want to cut the bulkhead down and sit all the way in the back (which is not good for performance), cut it down as little as possible.
I like a high bulkhead and a small aft deck for safety reasons. An open transom is not safe, boats sink because of it.
