Stinger to answer your question the drawings we are talking about were lofted off the original "Warpath" boat and then digitized to CAD.

I knew this thread wouldn't stay humorous.........
BTW, POODLE, I just ordered my ACME CAD program and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. I already got a Makita router back at home in Ga. and a good friend in the 'puter biz says he can hook it up so we can cut plugs.
So, what you wanna call the new co.???????????????
SOUIX CITY BOAT CO.

We could call it Tombstone and have the "shootout" at the OK Corral with the "New Apache" brothers. What a fitting end to the new era.

Sorry Carl, I already got one of them. No disrespect to the builders of those fine boats but, they are too heavy and way toooo crooked. We want something light weight and straight.
We could start out with a 45' and make it weigh around 5000#s. We could use all the leftover styrofoam blocks that they use to float the docks on the lake with since they outlawed the stuff, it's cheap, for all the coring material. Just slice it into the thickness that we need. We could go over to Sailorman in Ft. Lauderdale and get some used hardware to hold the cost down, polish it up and nobody will ever know the difference. I got a buddy with a junkyard I bet we could get some engines from, paint them up a pretty color and who cares if they run. We gotta find a source for some drives. And being that we're keeping the weight down we can get some old bass boat trailers and stretch them out and give them a brandy new pretty paint job and HOT DAMN we got ourselves a new rig.

Stinger: They did a "Take-Off" of the original Warpath which then we converted to 3-D and there are complete files of the New Hull & Deck Including Every Hatch and it's Liner.. the Console..and so forth. Talking now about Plugs and eventually the Mold system which is precision matched so you get a one piece Boat..
Now since I had some time on my hands From those files we developed the frames with thickness deductions to build the new T-4 Warpath as a running Boat or a "One-Off"..which is what I usually do.. The Boss told me he wanted Rolls Royce Quality
Choosing this route instead of a the typical rummage sale collection of orphaned wobbly Molds..
