The offical clock has started!!
Ordered the epoxy and precut kits on 3/4/05. Epoxy arrived 3/7!!!!
Built model to find out where the "difficult" areas of the hull might be...it's the BOW!! There are a couple of pics in my album of the model. I learned alot from building it...and I really like the shape..just the right combination of sharp entry and flat stern for my fishing needs..in Tampa Bay and the surrounding intercoastal areas.
The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.
Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

Panga 20 West Central Florida
Moved supplies and tools to a vacant garage a few miles from home over the last few days.
Completed the strongback this morning...
Just got the call from the freight company..they will deliver the precut kit tomorrow!
It's going to be a busy weekend..
I've also been watching Dynamo's progress and hopefully learning how to make the big camber bends..
Stay tuned..

I may go to Tarpon Springs on April 16th. If I go that way, I would love to stop by and see the assembly.
I should know more about that trip to the West Coast within 2 weeks.

Started around 9:00 this morning and worked until 6:30 (less 1 hr for some lunch and a trip to Home Depot). Learned alot thru mistakes but eventually I got the hang of setting up the verticals and aligning the frames on the strongback. Got the transom,F,E, and D set, aligned, and braced. Spliced the stringers for an overnight setup.
Found one small cutting error but nothing serious.
Will try and place A, B, and C tomorrow along with gluing the 2 stringer sides together.
Next big item is figuring out how set the small end pieces of the center frames (see my gallery for some pics).
