Re: hull extension in progress with picks

the beer cooler was a bit harder to cut out as the measurements had to be exact as the cover rests on the top of the cooler it self.....
nothing up there is symetrical....nor is there any constant points of reference

the only way to do this was to etch the bottom of the board with somthing.

i took green painters tape.....folded it in half where i wanted the cut to be.....and with half the stickey side up....i put stringline chalk on the tape.

it made a bit of a mess.....but nothing to worry about...

i took the board and carefully placed it where it should be....then i jumped on it...!!!!

then i pulled the board up....and there it was
a perfect outline of the area i wanted to cut......i re marked it with a pencil....

both the ski locker and the beer cooler hatch got rounded corners......i used the chopped strand bucket as my circrumfrence reference.

again...the circ saw was used to cut the straight and the jig saw was used to cut the corners

It's looking good Ward. Guess what? My bedroom has a floor too! Just got done laying the last couple of boards...man do my fingertips hurt! It's a glue down laminate floor on concrete. The floor is only 5/16" thick and pressing those boards into place really does a number on ya! I gotta let the moisture cure glue set up before I can pull the tape and then go through the arduous task of cleaning off the glue smudges. I'd probably have less to clean up if I actually installed floors for a living....that glue gets everywhere!

Hey.

I thought we weren't allowed to talk politics here.

And yeah, he may be a shoe-in, but he's been enough of a disappointment that I can't vote for him this time around. Course I can't vote for any of the rest of them either and since there is no Rhino party anymore, not sure what to do.

I'm hoping to move in by this weekend if I can get the shoe trim painted and installed during the course of this week. I dunno if I'll get on the boat before the snow flies though...However, I could work on it if I really wanted to since it's under a tarp with enough space for me to work on, and I have a big torpedo kerosene heater I could use to keep the space warm. I'll just have to play it by ear. It's hard to say though....Oops might still have a functional boat before I'm finished!

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

im thinking.......7 ins is do able.....water proof is no problem........i can design a 7 inch "flat space" in the dash with a lip around it.

let me look at the links.....

i am concerned about a few things about an automated system in general....

but if we can run both analouge and the automated system in concert....
relyability is absolute key....as ive swam back to shore too many times from that boat. so can we run the two togeather?....what i mean is a basic set of analouge gauges and a standard "run" system.....as well as having the computer read outs?

the stuff you are doing is fantastic....id be proud to have it on my boat....

the innovations youve come up with....are...well...staggering for a standard fish and ski !...(and thats a good thing)....

let me give it some more thought......chip in guys...weve got a few months to work this out

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

As for the disk drive, I think (strongly) the best fit for our needs is a solid state drive. It has MANY advantages over a standard disk drive. The two most important being, its not effected by vibration or bouncing that it would have to endure on the water, and it boots the machine MUCH faster. I am looking at this one. ($190) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208431

These are USD correct? I'm with Bubba on the SSD as mentioned above, particularly because of its installation location.

Will run you $280 CDN http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3976085&Sku=T555-2208

There are cheaper ones at 32GB if that'll work Bubba for $140 CDN at the same site if oops is shopping local to beat the duties/shipping.

Ncix probably carries the same items.

That's where I used to pick up stuff. Haven't built a system for a few years though.
