Lookin' good brandon!

Yeah, nothing against your work, your hulls always look good. It's all just personal taste. I've had a few people that have asked me to try and keep the shear line straight cause they like that look more.

Capt JJ- How are you trimming out your sides? Welding out the inside then rolling on its side and cutting with worm saw? Or are u using plasma also?

Question. The top side rails on your builds are those bought or just bent in a brake? I'm wanting to build my first hull but I'm from Georgia so I'm having trouble finding materials. And help is greatly appreciated! Your build is looking great!

Yes and No. All I can do is speak from my personal experience. I have built several 1 piece crimped hulls and several 3 piece. My brother in law talked me into doing this on this 3 piece hull. In comparison from this hull to my buddys hull (which we built), I have a much easier time going through shit than he does. Maybe its a hell of a coincidence, but mine is tapered and his isn't and he struggles. same size hull, same stage 2 kawi.

Need to get off my arse and work on it. Haven't been working at the shop and been busy on weekends.

Hopefully get kicked in the coming weeks.

Well I finally made some room in the shop and got time to work on it. Got a few braces in and transom cut out last night.

Got all the longitudinal braces in and transom cut and broke up.

54" wide 3/16" thick bottom with 8 braces should be enough to dry dock that thing on top of a cypress knee and use it as a merry-go-round without leaving a mark 1x2 tubing stood on end?

That's the kind of floor I need to be running! Glad to see you're back on this project.

Those 1x2's... Do you notch and re-weld to get that radius for the rake?

Looks like they're rolled.

I'm glad this thread is back up and running....Will be tuned in for more updates!

Whittling away at it.

Need y'all opinion.

Should I mount my flush mount led lights in the flat spot that I cut out of in the back of the hunt deck?

In here?



Or here?




Sent from my beeper

If they're 60* then "or here" spot. If they're 30* then "in here" spot.

My vote is for "or here". It would illuminate the hunt deck as well as onto the water.

"In here" gets my vote

Over there

Biggest problem you will have in the corners is if the lights become submerged. They are "Water proof" to a certain degree.
If you were to park on the bank for a long period of time and submerge the lights then they may or may not work after that.
Don't have experience with that just know those lights aren't 100% waterproof regardless what they say on the box

How are you going to do your transom? I'm ready to see this bad boy finished! looks awesome so far. keep up the good work.
