I have most of the frames installed and this week I hope to install the floor. I'm not sure how to attach the floor to the frames. The only thing I can think of it to coat the top of the frames with thickened epoxy and screw it down. But I will be unable to form any fillets between the bottom...

I emailed I last fall and he got back to me rate away.

I've not been on the forum much lately, but I have been picking away at the boat. Fiddley thinks. I'm on the inside of the hull now and have taped in all the plywood scarf joints. I've run fillets along all the chine logs (I think that's what they are called), along each of the stringers and...

I think I understand. I should be seated just behind the balance point... Thanks Scott

Oar lock position. Progress has been slow over the last month. I've managed to do a bit of fibreglassing and filleting on the interior of the boat. II have a quick question. There were no oar locks in the boat and I will add a pair. I've found a good description of sizing oars for a boat...

Makes sense. I have the first knee brace cut out of 3/4" marine plywood. It seems that with slight modifications I can make that knee fit any station.

I wish my hull looked like that :-) I've been in the garage all morning making sawdust. It is much easier to fix mistakes with the computer than the bandsaw. But I think you have it now. I can carry the knee out to join up with the new floor support. I could also set the floor support just...

Eric - I was thinking about your advice to install "knee braces" all day yesterday and then I got your new post. I think I will follow your advice and figure you how to install them. I went back though your post on building the Black Brant to see how the floor was supported. I'm just...

A thought on drain plugs. I have a thread that's turned into a rebuild of an AA Broadbill ( https://duckboats.net/community/threads/advice-on-sneakbox-aa-broadbill-or-mlb-wigeon.354922/). I'm think that the damage to the hull was a combination of leaving the boat outside uncovered and lack of...

Don't cut your drawing skills short - I cannot draw in 3D. I thought about leaving part of the old frames to allow a means of attaching knees like you suggest and end up rejecting the idea -- maybe too soon. The added batten is required to support the plywood at their edges. I also thought...

Well, I thought about it a lot. Had a friend come over and look at it and we agreed that the boat would be much mode practical without those frames.... I just cut them out. It looks much better and it is a lot easier to work on. After thinking about it this is what I decided on. I cut out...
