Spending the morning at Jerry Wienandt's, he never fails to blow my mind some how

**Laker** · 08-30-2014, 10:15 AM

Thanks Kevin!

Now for a little late night work..

I took a couple pages out of laker's book by adding the floor mounts and tying the deck to the hull with side supports

**Quinten** · 09-01-2014, 07:33 AM

I did the side supports or "gussets" as I called them. Good call IMO. Looking good!

Floor and bulkhead are in, but still need to put in a small section of floor between them.

**FlowMaxx** · 09-01-2014, 10:19 PM

Nice. You will like this hull

Really nice work Nick!
You have been taught well.
Also be sure to add the brace to the deck to prevent bouncing and flexing of the deck at speed.
Also add some thickness to the dashboard if you haven't already.
Excellent work!

Oh yes I learned that lesson with the vking.... Deck bounces around like crazy

I don't plan on getting in the boat wet at anytime but I see your point, if it rains a little or gets wet I'll just use towels
