Good luck with the build! It's a ton of fun. I've been slowly building an FS17. I've really enjoyed the build and have learned a ton. Just be sure not to get overwhelmed. One step at a time!
Nightfighter brings up a good point too. Prior to the flip mine was stationary and it wasn't awful. However, I did put the cradle on casters as it was nice to be able to move around. Just something to consider.
Pretty sure I'll finish up this year. I'm impressed your out there now! I pretty much hang it up between Jan and March! hahahahha...it's just so cold! Than April shows up and the fishing starts...no wonder it is taking me years!!!!
Good luck and I look forward to seeing more progress.
Here's mine at the moment...

Wow! Lower ...your boat is looking great! You're working on your console so it looks like you'll be done soon. Got a motor for it yet? I have some wheels for the strongback ready to go. Lots of fairing and sanding I'll do outside on nice days.
This project is for me and my 26 year old son to build together. My plans are to finish building it within the year but probably not in time for this season. The motor and trailer will cost more than the hull.(I'm looking for a deal on a slightly used 40-50 HP motor)
Bloo.. I'll still be fishing the surf alot even after the boat is done. Just might not be kayaking as much! See you out there  |

Thanks! It's getting there. I still have to finish the gunwales and then begin fairing the inside. The finish work (fairing, etc) can really eat up some time! You'll see what I mean soon enough! No motor yet, I'm looking. I'll be doing similair to you, a 40 or 50. Keep up the good work and throw some pics up every once in awhile, their great to see. |
