Good luck ,folks.Thanks for being there when needed.though it has been awhile,I've done some research on the duckwork site looking for boat techniques.

Cindy has a Cpap machine that she uses for sleep.We got one with cords that can use 12 volt battery.Unsure of how long that would last.All my interior lighting is LED so not much is used. Figure a solar panel with trickle charger might be enough.

Those bottom battons might be a blast as well(when you get that far).I kerfed mine 15 or so inches on the front and bending down and wired to build form.after ply is screwed down.release the front of the battens after appling glue.otherwise your going to be fighting those when putting ply on.

That's what I thought.Don't matter anyway.Canada probably gonna lock out the non-resident tourists again this summer.So won't get to go camping up in the islands and see what I need for power.

If you look at pic of "Slither" on design plan ,the little white line looks like the chine line.You're building a speed boat."Chug "is a tug

I got a couple of older Johnson 6 horses you could put on.Sure,you won't go very fast,but the milage would be fantastic.Think of the savings! They haven't run for 10 years,no electric start so you don't have batteries to charge

I laminated my chines on"Chug" .In some joints could add shim in back to bring it out so frame doesn't contact ply but chines will(when faired to fit.Sent a pic of intended joint at bow.Stem needs to be faired a little so chine can be screwed to stem and ply lays flat across all.

I'm kinda in the same pickle.I'm thinking on using solar panels mounted on roof of "Chug" to charge house batteries.Not sure if my Yamaha 9.9 high thrust has big enough charging system to handle all the batteries.Just not sure how big to go.My roof is 8 ft x 10 ft.

Is the power on yet?We've had -35 to -40 for last 11 days.I'll see if we can send you some.

Maybe,you'll have to do it the easy way like I did to "Chug" -disassemble trailer,stick under boat and after lifting boat reassemble trailer

Seams I've seen a build somewhere where the lower unit moves but engine does not.Think it might have been on the Rybovich site

Maybe a boat like this one with twin Seven Marine 627 hp outboards

Kinda like what Ray did with his "True Grit"?

Looking good ,Carl.At least you're getting something done.It was -35 here with a little breeze today so no boat work.

Maybe,with luck,he's just busy wiring and lost in thought about routing it.Was a pita for mine.
