you done yet?! :laugh:

:mad-new:

Just saw this looking forward to watching the build! opcorn:

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting started. I hope you have a big bowl of popcorn though. It will me a while. :lol:

 

[pekstrom]

I would ditch the stove, add a bar, and use a grill thar stuff into a rod holder

I'm not sure what I'll do in that area yet. I like the bar idea but I couldn't use it since I'd be driving the boat. They frown on adult beverages for the ones behind the wheel on our lake.

I like it! As the boat turns you can just tilt your head to block the sun. Much better than a bimini. :lol:

Oh I wish! Haven't even gotten started yet. Although the plans are officially mine now so I can start getting familiar with them and ponder material etc.

Time to look into cnc shops.:joyous:

Time to look into cnc shops.:joyous:

Oh that would be cheating! :lol: I'll stick to my jigsaw and tablesaw. They seemed to work out pretty well on the PM38. Although having all the parts pre-cut in a CNC would be nice. Hmm, how much do they cost? :facepalm::lol:

 

[dezmond]

CNC is nice but then all the cuts are very accurate and there isn't a lot of room for mistakes.. If you do decide to look for a CNC shop, try and find the little sign shops that make wooden signs and stuff. They will be a lot cheaper than the Machine shops that's for sure! I used to have a 4x8' CNC router and loved it for most of the work we did.

or build a CNC router table

Oh...after all the cuts are completed their will be plenty of work to do.

 

[mickyryan]

Yeah, that's very true. I'm already not looking forward to all the sanding...

 

[pekstrom]

Unfortunately they don't offer that. They do have kits for fasteners and fiberglass, but not the wood. I'll stick with my trusty jigsaw and table saw. They should work just fine. One thing I find amusing is that the PM38 would fit inside this boat, between the forward and aft seat backs. :lol:

 

[pekstrom]

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it!
