Graeme,
From the picture, the top horizontal member where you will be attaching the means of lifting the engine looks pretty light. Do check it since I'd hate to see it bend with the weight of the engine on it. |

I think its the angle of the picture making it look light. I was thinking of putting another cross beam on top of that one to double up for more strength.

Yip, that's it tucked away for the winter. Just to tidy the garage up a wee bit then level the boat up & it's time to get started.
I've ZERO experience of fibreglassing so feeling a bit nervous about it. |

After a SERIOUSLY long lay off from the refurb, a change in employment,
I FINALLY made a start on the stringers today again. The secondary stringer came out whole, hopefully the mains are the same

Another good mornings work on the stringers.
That's the engine cradle and one of the main stringers out. Wood work isn't my strong point, so I need to make a decision about do I buy a router and make the stringers myself or find a joiner to make them for me. Surely cant be that hard since I have one to copy????

Yes it can be done on a hand router using the old as jigs… if you get yourself a half decent jigsaw and good blades and finish to shape with a hand belt sander 40 or 60 grit your find the nose wheel on the sander will sand the big rads your soon get the feel of it…do a few practice bits on off cuts, this may be better for you if have low woodworking skills. Good luck with the build Roger. |

You have to get this done before I visit my relatives again in Irvine.
You have had a good summer there so I know you are itching to get the boat back in action Seriously keep pressing on. Cheers Larry |

On a roll at the moment :)
6 layers of fibreglass so far, another 1 or 2 layers to go, its not as pretty as some of the work i've seen on here but it will defo be solid. Used 10kg of 2 part polyurethane liquid foam so far and still got the bow to fill.
