Catsup - Better than Ketchup?

Well I still remember how to use a computer.  Seriously, just been tough to get Blog posts up with everything else going on.  Not to fear, there has been lots of progress, so time to Catch Up! I also have taken the smaller PnS camera out in hopes of getting more pictures as we go.

Gary can be seen below thinking about chines a few weeks ago.  Yea, chines are cool.


She seems pretty fair too, right Gary?

Sorry, pics are sideways in spots...  Chines ready.

Damn plunge cuts to get the notches out of the frames.  

Thar she is!

Measuring lengths of the chines.

Amy likes the boat!

Getting the bottom cut out.  We scribed this off the sides, then got to cutting.



 Checking for fit.

Cut out the glass.  Thanks Scotty!

Epoxy station all set up.  

Before shot.

The inside of the bottom is glassed.



I was here!



 Nice Lines!

Weighing down, and getting out of the way!


 All ready for a bottom

Bottom is on.


So we dance on it!







So today the bottom was screwed on around the chine, and I am getting ready to fillet all of the screw holes and rough areas.  The last few weeks have seen a lot of little things get resolved.  The chine notches, the chines installed, everything sanded and faired, the bottom was cut out, glasses, smothered in adhesive then installed.  Lots of work to be done too, now that we know catsup, is not as good as Catch Up, time to get everything ready to flip back over and start the bulkheads, deck framing and decking.
