Well it took some time to really get started on the boat, but we seam to be on the move now. As you can see we have three quarters of the framing jig up and have the transom and ten ribs in place. Were hopeing to start on the next ribs today we are waiting on UPS to deliver our expoy so we can glue them and we will be ready to set them in place. After starting this project it is not as easy as it looks, there is a lot of checking and rechecking because a quarter of an inch will make a lot of deference when you start put the plywood on. I hope the weather holds out for this weekend and maybe I will have all the ribs in place. Already have the keel and the stem. Well if the exopy does not come today we will be notching the ribs that are already up for the keel and the chine logs.Well I guess that's all for now. Until next time have a great day.Friday, January 23, 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year to all my friends and followers. I hope each and everyone of you had a great year and may this year be even better to you. Things were kinda shaky for me the last of the year and the first of the year. As you can we took time off to get the holidays past us. Now we are back on track and ready to move on with the boat.
This is my co-pilot to the right. His name is Champ and he is a 2 1/2 year old Boston Terrier . Champ will go every where I go, he loves to be on the boat and never no trouble. Anyway that is enough for now will post more this afternoon.
Have a Blessed day
