All right well this might go down in history as the slowest boat build but a guy can only do so much. It looks like the Broadbill won’t see any blood this year since the weather is colder and I’m concerned about the epoxy curing in these temps. I also found that I was rushing to get this done and as a result the craftsmanship was suffering. Soooo it shall wait until Spring. Basically all that’s left is the coaming, glass the deck, motor mount and paint. Here’s a few pics of where she’ll be until Spring.
Since my last update the rub rails were installed, as was the pour flotation foam fore and aft.
Next I laid down a coat of epoxy/wood flour mix for the decking and then screwed it down with bronze screws.
I then trimmed the excess off around the rub rails. I’ll cut the coaming and have that ready for Spring.
Question – when mounting the motor bracket, does that go on after the initial deck glass? Or does it go on before?
Thanks,
Ryan
