Well Bill all I can say to that is that if you were expecting to start your boat in two weeks it's good thing you decided to vacate and rebuild that 25'.

Explain a little if you dont mind- the second post is a pre-molded hull liner that you made over a male mold and will be glued into the hull or are the pictures in reverse order? Either way looks like several tons of fiberglass.

Nice shop too. I could use on of those this winter.

You got it right except for the weight, it's lighter than stick building the folksal and saves a lot of hours fairing the interior.

Ken,

I'm unfamiliar with "copper screen" and I'm sure others are too.

What's its purpose ?? Bonding ??

Newbuild Safety?

I would not want to be those guys in a few years! Not using respirators while chopping rolling is not smart. I hope OSHA and the other safety nuts are not looking at this. Showing kids around that boat is also risky. Nice design and engineering that liner! What is the propulsion going to be?

WOW,I suppose the picture posting will stop

What's our future if you can't show kids how boats are built? Think about how many great boat builders grew up in the shop.

Thats my son in those pictures and hes standing about where I was25 year's ago and all I can tell you is in 25 years I hope its his son standing there and not planted safely in front of a tv.

I would not be surprised if the copper going into the hull is for an Single Side Band radio.
