No Name Scull Boat Build......update........ We named her the Double Nickel.........

Is the 5200 the normal cure or the fast cure? I have had bad luck using the fast cure on the two boats I have built recently. It last about a year then it starts to separate. I have to repair some wood rot already on one of the boats I did because of it.

What are you going to use for a sock?
 
Dale,
That is one stealthy looking boat. I love the lines and your craftsmanship. I have to say you made my day. Being one that doesn't have a lot of specialty tools including a hole depth gage I do employ the painters tape depth gage quit often. My hat is off to you. Still don't think I can build a boat though! Great job.

Tom,
I use the slow cure. I once, tried to remove a piece of brass that was bedded with 5200. I had to cut through the wood to remove it. I use 1/4" neoprene, from an old wet suit.

What would we do without tape? I use tape for everything, even bandages!

After much sanding, and faring, using 3M waterproof vinyl ester, marine premium filler. And a couple coats of Lou’s # 28 dead grass green FME, she’s ready to go................ low-n-slow.............................



 
one word to sum this boat up SEXY!! man the curves on her are outstanding great build I enjoyed following.
 
Sitting there on that black trailer makes it look like a package of death for Mr. duck. That was an awesome build.

Very cool build. As silly as this sounds I found the mold and plug builds very interesting. Good looking rig, lov the skull and crossbones.

Thanks for posting, good luck w it next season.

Dale,


Very, very nice!


Just curious. Is it easy to register homemade boats out there? Here in Illinois they've made it so complicated it's nearly impossible to register a homemade boat. The one guy I met while investigating the process had a buddy in another state register his boat for him because it was easier. Then he took that states title and registration and transferred it to his name in Illinois.
