71SN Stringer

Making some progress. Floor battens have all been cut, fitted and are in the process of being sealed.



This is the bottom of the ski pylon cross member. Good piece of white oak with a cross grain doubler at the flange location.



Top of the same. Next set is to fit again and drill the 4 holes for the pylon flange.



My pylon is pined at the bottom of the boat and pined at the flange. The cross member is sandwiched between the flange and the stainless trim ring on the top.



My stringers are notched for the cross member and I have laminated a long piece of white oak on the outside of the stringer, goes back to pick up the engine mount and a short piece on the inside. This should give a good surface area to epoxy and screw the cross member in.



Hopefully will have the time to tape the secondary stringers and get the floor battens epoxied in this weekend.

It has been a while since I have posted some pictures but work is progressing. All the floor battens are in and sealed. The flooring templates have been made and we are hopeful to set the new 1/2" plywood floor on the weekend.









Battery box detail. Wood piece with returns to hold the plastic box from moving. Floor will be removable from this point to the kick panel. Bilge pump is accessed by removing the battery box.

Frank,

That's looking really good.

Some additional pictures of the progress. We launched last weekend but didn't have the camera. Still quite a few fit and finish items to perform but at least it is usable.


At the dock. Front and rear panels are removable and still to be carpeted.
