Two sawhorses and lay your plywood on them.

fallguy he needs something more than that. This is a 23' boat that is going to weigh close to 1000lbs before the flip. I would say just get some 2x16 and then set them on some cinder blocks across the frames. Glue the boards to the blocks with wedges so they don't tip over. That will get get him up 2' at least.

But he has done a great job to date and may not mind bending over. But he does have have the hardest part ahead of him, fairing and sanding.

Significant project, I will be following with interest.

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2021 10:00 pm**

Can you just use glass seams? I hate butt blocks ever since I had a 1947 Chris Craft with rot on the back of a butt block.

Posted: **Sun Oct 03, 2021 3:27 am**

Fallguy I believe the seams on the DE25 are all fiberglass and epoxy. Tom

I thought so as well, but didn't want to overspeak. Perhaps butt block is being used as a generic term is all.

The enthusiasm radiating from the pics is lovely.

Please explain to family and friends, and more importantly to yourself, that you're going to have to keep pugging on at this rate for three years or so before you're afloat.

Ilker has shown that you Turks can endure a long build and deliver a triumph. Wishing you all the best.

Indeed, and impressively so!

Keep at it, she won't build herself, only you can, and on performance to date, you will.

You are going to need guttered hatches in the sole. The way I see them; they might be leakers unless wet lockers.

Try, those look like they are in the cabin.

Posted: **Wed Mar 16, 2022 1:36 pm**

Very cold.Hard to work.

Posted: **Wed Mar 16, 2022 1:55 pm**

I would not put the beading type foams in the bilge my friend.

They take on ambient moisture and capture it and never release it.

Expanded polystyrene is really terrible in the bilge unless you bury it in better foams.

Love the pictures. Is that your Mom or Mom-in-Law?

Either way, good progress! Get rid of that recycled crap..or bury it in marine foam.

Posted: **Wed Mar 16, 2022 2:00 pm**

ps-you will find a bunch if indistry hype saying otherwise, but I have had to replace hot tub covers every ten years or so a few times now because the steam gets into the foam and it never dries

Reid did some experiments as well and the best way to make a dry bilge is epoxy encapsulation of foam..

I'm really impressed by the speed of your build, and its quality. Thanks for the build reports, they're a pleasure to follow. Build on.

Posted: **Fri Apr 08, 2022 10:07 am**

Very smart to use the foam. But it must be glassed. You are using glass?

Yes ,inside and outside glassed. Thanks for all comments. I will complete boat for this summer.

I suspect it would be translated more as a colloquial wish for safe journey. Like “Following Sea”.

Very nice Murat, the numbers look good, and the Suzuki will be a good motor for you at displacement speeds. You will not get up on plane with it.

Posted: **Sat Jul 16, 2022 4:12 am**

I will take some photos inside.
I choose smaller propeller to my old engine. Full speed engine reaches 5000 5500 rpm. 20 km/hr.
At displacement speed 10 km /hr 2250 rpm. Consumption 0.3 lt per km or 3 lt per hour.

I convert that to 7.8 mpg. Really great numbers on fuel economy if I did it right. I can't handle the liter or gallons per hour rate in my head.

Posted: **Sat Jul 16, 2022 9:33 am**

Google says 78mpg

Go to google and then put in “3l/100km to mpg”. It will bring up a conversion widget.

Posted: **Sat Jul 16, 2022 9:40 am**

I'd love to hear from the designer on how this is possible to get 7.8

Posted: **Sat Jul 16, 2022 10:20 am**

Yep. Good catch. The google widget only does /100km so it would the 30l/100km getting it back to the 7.8mpg.

Posted: **Sat Jul 16, 2022 2:07 pm**

My converter also says .3l/km = 7.84 mi/gal. So, fallguy don't doubt yourself. His rpm range of 5300 to 6300rpm's so if he can hit 5500 he is good. Murat great pics of the boat in the water and the 20kmh is a great top speed since you're not reaching full rpms.

Enjoy your boat.

Posted: **Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:11 am**

Sure looks great. I see some ropes that are nearly horizontal in a couple of the outside pics. Are those ground ties back to shore?

Posted: **Sun Jul 17, 2022 10:13 am**

May you have many long days on the water with that beautiful boat.

Tom

Posted: **Sun Jul 17, 2022 2:34 pm**
