Well, boat is at the new house and we are all moved in, been doing projects around the house and finally getting a little spare time to spend on the boat. Still working on the forever blueprinting part.

Well i just went through my posts and looks like Photobucket blurred and watermarked all of my pictures... ill continue to upload through the site but are there any recommendations on how to mass upload to something to get pics on the posts they should be on other than one by one through this site?
I have found that blueprinting the bottom is the best "bang for the buck" there is. I made many running plugs for boat company's and let me assure you the process is a performance enhancer. Speed increases come from ride attitude. And the bottoms shape dictates ride attitude. Especially port and star. dimensions being the same. Find the centerline on the trans and keel fwd. and start measuring out from there. See how different the dimensions are. (+-) 1/8'' is acceptable for production, (0) is a racers tolerance.
Well the bottom is basically done, it's as straight as I can get it, got to start finishing up the transom and fair that out next. Some touch ups here and there and then the bottom would be ready for primer.
