Weeding the Pumpkin patch

I'm on the north end of L Lanier in Gainesville,GA.

Let me try to explain :
I have no moderation,"ADD" combined with "OCD" means do and do it CORRECTLY.
And every job that leaves my shop is done this way.................Boat dr

ADD; Attention Deficit Disorder or I will have 4 jobs in progress at any given time in my shop....
OCD: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or there is no room for half ass on my work nor on yours

Hope this tells you about my work ethics, and the degree that I tolerate...Boat dr

Greg, Looks like you found some nice Fir. I really don't think that with todays lumber prices that $125 is that bad. Glad you didn't go with the quarter sawn as that would be overkill. I also hope you didn't get the idea of the quarter sawn from me. I only mentioned some nice straight grain Fir. It does seem a shame to cover the stuff up!!!

I forgot to mention when we were talking material and supplies, did you get one of those rollers?

im not f-in through yet, i took a day off from the site to cool down cause boat doctor you got me so f-in pissed off and you act like nothing happened, you caused this *************** with your gossip hotline and back off like a little kid and said, I knew nothing about this... for some god damn reason your right behind me all the time riding my ass and saying im profitng from this site, well i checked the previous year i did 114 f-in borg warners and the year i was involved with CCF i did 96 that tells me i walked more guys through rebuilding thier own transmissions,
you question my f-in warranty, well here it is: ANYONE THAT SENDS ME THIER TRANSMISSION AND I REBUILD IT FOR THEM IT WILL COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR AS LONG AS YOU OWN YOUR BOAT
Its a shame you had to pull me into this *************** and make everyone involved to look like ***************s but it seems your good at doing that
dont even come back at me with some f-in smartass comment, cause the only thing i want to hear from you is an apology. and im sure you should also send Jimmy an apology cause your plan backfired on you, BTW these guy's arn't dumb either, they also can read between the lines, so do the right thing

now im done

thats exactly what i knew you would come back with, like i said i can read between the lines.
when i get accused of self promotion as you do 5 posts previous to this,
how you'd sleep the last couple nights? probably like a little kitten, well I didnt, thats the difference between me and you

Hey now,

I already got scolded once for trying to stop this thread jack however will try again. Your both great guy's as well as great contributors to this site in many ways, forget about it and let Buffalo have his thread back.

Quinner, over and out..........
Shop full need to get some boats out......
My apologies to the site for Threadjack....
Timeout on Me, I will go stand in the corner
               Boat dr

I too will end it right now and apologize to all concernerd parties and the thread jack, this situation was handled very unprofessionally with the parties involved, and i do apoligize, a phone call would have been sufficient
im sorry, Eric

How come each new project comes with needed tools?!!? LOL No, I don't but may have to get one. The mains are straight and have a pretty consistant angle. I'd guess they went through a table saw 20 yrs ago, and I'm having to go back to the hull with the ginding so I expect my touch with the tools will tell the tale. I may even end up with the original bed they went in plus some new mat. I pulled this off with the band saw and belt sander.



I pulled the center stringer...



And the bilge pump mount...and the pylon mount...



I'll trim this to a rib before I glass it in. It's not original but can't hurt either.

Me too! It had to come out because of a water pocket and other assorted nastyness was under it. As you point out, I would rather have left it alone because of how many other measurements I have based on it; but it was glassed in right next to the bilge pump mount and not sealed separately. The BPM was a glassed in square of ply that left the boat years ago and the pocket that used to house it actually sqirted when I stepped on it?!!?
LOL

My set up is a female socket welded to an aluminum plate, and it had a about 1" of build up under it. I'm leaving both mains until I can put it back. The plan is to use a T square I made and have marked in sharpie for the rough in and the engine cradle for the final set. As bad as I wanted to take the cradle apart and clean it, something told me to let it be for now.

Chris, I appreciate your concern! Earlier is better than later if anyone sees me do something stupid! LOL

Thanks for the tip 91, I haven't used those but do have a grinder. What size do you like? I've been mostly using an electric grinder with a few different blades...plenty of dust!

That's pretty convincing...I could get 1 of those for the price of 5 16 grit disks...

Gary, Hopefully you took some measurements of the old stringer before ripping the old ones out.

As far as getting the hull into it's correct shape, get it off the trailer if you have it on the trailer. The trailer bunks put more pressure on the hull near the engine because that's where the majority of the weight is. Several people (including Greg above) have built stands to prop up the hull. I find that if you support the two rear corners near the transom and then the keel about 2/3rds forward that the hull will be the proper shape. Level the gunnels and check the floor for level.

Greg!! I knew you were going to go excessive with your woodworking skills. The bulkhead scribing down into the lifting strake V notches??

Meaning of anal
Common usage:
"Conversationally, the term is often used to describe a person deemed to be overly obsessed with minor details. Its roots are said to be from Sigmund Freud.

The term is often used in a derogatory sense to describe a person with such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, and can be carried out to the detriment of the so-called anal-retentive person."

Guess what? I probably would have done it the same way!!

Looking good. Have you been on vacation or something? Lately, I miss my morning pumpkin patch updates.
