Give us an update how did the testing go ? Was your friend happy with it?

Very impressive! I think you nailed it!

for mine, I did add some weight with boxes and heavier material but it should be a battle tank. I had some issues with the old inner transom wanting to bow out , just did my best to hold it in.

You are doing a nice job! If you can get your hands on a sheet of .0125 at least, I used 3/16 on one I recently did with forward reaching knee braces over a pocket tunnel. Is much easier to weld being able to lean on thicker material heat-wise.

Hey all, finally had some time to work on it. About done with fixtures etc, carpet soon.

Thank you for the input, if it were the usual big motor deal I’d be a little more on track. I’ve never had a 4 stroke much less a small engine. I will try to post more photos this week It’s getting exciting.

I assume the wood is some sort of dampener for the keel , I replaced one rotted piece. The batteries were excellent compression for the foam. We wrapped plywood in shrink wrap poured the foam covered it then held it down tight with batteries. Working on front deck now , then paint , carpet ...

welcome aboard , I am new here as well but like the tin boat universe! post up pics of your project

Floor is back in and sealed up! Console going back in and making deck bulkheads next!

It floats with no leaks! Now on to re-foaming and start assembly!

More progress, I did screw up though. I covered the place for livewell intake up so I have to come up with a plan. Happy otherwise. Halfway there.

Been in Vegas for a few days at the airport headed home , quite a few to post. I will Sunday

The remaining bulk head is coming out and getting replaced , so the seats will recess on either side of the live well. The front piece you see on the bow is the new trolling motor mount, we mis cut the dang this so we are making a filler should still work well and look good.

Progress! I am getting there. The fuel tank will be where the seats sit on top of, the livewell is behind the tank but not finished.
