Happy camper?

Happy Phil


Hey where's the rest of the boat?


Were close,
Got the final measurements for Phil, skin's on the way, not to self get a big shoe horn for Phil.
I has been trying, frustrating and a whole lot of fun building this boat. I think it will be a fun boat for Phil.

Rib's



176 is turning into a nice lookin boat.


For some reason the rib's were being b this time, well not much room for them in the back.
Kinda got thru it, had to make up some replacement ones.This morning they bent like butter, need to put them in a tighter steam box.

Don't know why I can't find anything????????

Backwards Friday




Well it was almost a product, finished mocking up the stem and stern. Then checked the angles of the gunwales. I had to adjust the rear angle a lot so,

Tada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took the back end apart to adjust the deck beams to get the right angle on the gunwales.
It was quite a pain, it ended up much better.

All back together.

I keep saying it this boat is shallow, all gunwales.
