Re: hull extension in progress with picks
GOT ONE !
was down at malibu boats today, asking questions, looking, digging, asking more questions.
and across the street was a space for boat storage. a new company, just started, there empty right now, so i got the bay for $150 a month
.
i know the owner messed up....he was on his calculator, at $13 a sq foot the figures came out to $1500, a month, but he said $150.......so it goes in tommorow at 5 pm. (if i get back from my vancouver trip, early enough).
I hope to be back by 1 or 2 pm.
but im still gonna get on her tonight, and take care of some small stuff, (form the cap, if the weather temp holds, i might get a layer of glass on it.
ok heres the plan.........ondarvr says, the farring of the hull will take 2 days for a pro. that means 16 days of 6 hrs a day for me.......(math courtsey of the murphy factor)
thats with the hull flipped, so we'll be seeing a pictorial of a easy way to flip a hull.
two days each for fabbing the benches, two days for fabbing the sun pad and rear bench. one day for fabbing the swim grid,
and a few extra days to fix all the hull gouges and srcatches.......
(you can really fly at that......i saw one gouge being repaired today at elite boat works by a pro.....huge gouge ....15 minits.....done).
while im doing the farring, the cap will go to my electrician. he can work on the cap while its flipped upside down....everything will be "bench height" for him....and he can fly thru it in his backyard.
it is possible the boat will see the paint shop by june 1 st.
then outta the paint shop and to the mechanics for the motor to go in.
im putting in the 4.3 for the time being, just to see how the hull responds, no point putting in a 383, just to find out the boat turns circles.
after the sea tryals, and every thing is ok, then the big stroker......
man....thats a load off my mind....
cheers
oops
