Project on a short pause for a little bit. Got a contract CAD modeling job, so getting through that. Also need the money for the material and consumables so this work has come just in time.
Also eyeing out a Kemppi MLS 2300 AC/DC TIG unit, 230 AMP's single phase machine. I'm impressed.

Ok, so will stick with 12 deg transom.

12 bottles of Argon.....WOW.........really???

Hmmmmmm....long way from fishing in this thing yet....

Just a quick question if someone could answer me.
What angle for the transom? To suit most motors from 25-100hp.
At the moment got it at 12 degrees.

I want to finalize the design as will be having the material cut in a week or two. Want to make sure all is 100% before things get cut.

Waiting on a Teflon liner for the torch, and a some gas shrouds (dropped it and stepped on it, idiot). So can't try machine out properly, ran a few quick beads. Need to get software upgrade to get the Fronius SynchroPuls (pulse-on-pulse) option activated, so I can run pretty weld beads.....

Did you show them how the medical equipment works? :gunner2: hahaha... finally got the beast.....sooooo excited.....'Westermans International' (http://www.westermans.com) are awesome, that's where I got the machine from in England. Brand new Argon reg and brand new earth lead. Really happy. Althoug...

Ok here is the basic unfinished design. view 01.JPG view 02.JPG view 03.JPG view 04.JPG view 05.JPG All the panels will be laser cut and CNC formed on the press brake. So hopefully she will assemble like a jig saw puzzle. Transom needs more reinforcement. Hull plate is 3 mm, sides 2.5 mm and transom...

What sort of fixtures do you guys use for the formation of the hull. I need to make something just need some ideas, will need to be adjustable for different dead rise hulls. The design has progressed and evolved to a pontoon style boat, but the pontoons wont be closed like on the StabiCraft, imitati...

Thanks pjay9, been looking and reading for ages before I decided to sign up an donate. A great bunch of people on here from what I can see. Invaluable resource of knowledge. looking forward to getting to know you guys. Well thinking of starting a business here in boat building, not just for the sake...

Ok...Just had a go at drawing a boat hull in Rhino3D and developing the surfaces. This is not the design I will be going with, was just practice. It developed quite well, a few gaps due to my poor scissor skills and also the hull formed is not very fair due to the nature of the cardboard I used. 201...

Hi, New to all this, and very excited. Been wanting to build an ALU boat for some time now, dreaming about it is over. Live in Serbia now, moved here recently from Australia, looking after elderly father here. So have some time up my sleeve and need to do something to keep me sane and maybe make som...

ok...just read it is not suitable for boat hulls due to the high abrasion rate...!!...But no idea how long it would last....considering lots of people paint their hulls once a year or once every two years....also depending on how much you use your boat..still interesting...

Hi, has anyone tried coating their hull with this stuff...It seems really good, would reduce drag and maybe even barnacle build up, not sure about that, just thinking outside the box....but there should be some noticeable performance increase, surely...top speed test would be interesting....or time ...

Only one thing I don't like about the Stabicraft...I don't own one.... :banghead: Being from Australia originally, you guys make some awesome boats across the ditch...had the pleasure of going out on a spearfishing trip out at the Sydney FAD's for Mahi Mahi on one of your boats...Well, love at first...

Hi guys.... In Serbia, relocated here three months ago after living in Australia for 32 years....Elderly father is very ill, so here to look after him...Returning the favor as he puts it..hehehe Had a business in Aust, CNC machine shop....Did heaps of ALU Tig work...been keen to build an ALU plate b...
