Magne - I'm still plugging along a little at a time.
Hopefully some decent weather this weekend, and maybe I can update with some pics. |

Geez - it's like looking at my own boat.
I took a pic of mine last weekend after I replaced the life-line, and put it up as wallpaper on my work computer. I've been staring at it all week, and it's been driving me nuckin' phutz that the screw in the rub-rail isn't centered on the bow. Forgive me for being so anal, I used to be a custom trim carpenter, and it was always tiny little details like this that can make the difference. I know, nobody but me would pick it out, but hey, I will pick it out. Then, looking at this boat, I see they must have started running the rail from the same spot every time.:D |

You dont want the screw directly in the front, as it is a stresspoint, but I would have run one on each side evenly spaced, just for looks:D
Honestly, I was wondering about that. And I've really been thinking about this - just show's how neurautic I may be to put so much thought into this. I don't think it would actually be a stress point though, I would expect the stress to be dispersed before it would hit that high into the hull. And, a single screw through the hull/deck bond?? I don't see that causing any structural detriment. |

So stop being so picky, It is not a $200K 24' pp. |

Everything in life has to be cost effective, when I built that boat was over 30 years ago, I used to build 2 boats per week.

No I am not blaming it on anything! It's just that there are so many potentially better boat builders on this board that it gets old after a while.

Pepe, relax - I didn't mean it that way at all.
And I was sure there was a reason. I was more just making a note that it is identical placement on both boats from that era. I didn't mean any offense in any way. |
I am relaxed! It bothers me when some of you criticize a $15K boat that on top of that is 30 years old and try to compare the detail to a $500K new boat.
It kind of gets ridiculuous! That is why a lot of people in the boat biz try to stay away from the board. I am just try to be the opposite, maybe I should try to also stay away. No offense taken, I was just trying to explain the why of things. pp. |
