Build in process pictures, please.
If the builder doesn't remove the mill scale now might be the time to put in that request.

I had a 26' cuddy cabin without trim tabs and relocating a 110 quart cooler from port side deck just behind the cuddy bulked to centerline just in front of the cuddy bulked made a noticeable difference in ride and time to plane.

All's good, I get froggy when people trash the trades.
Enjoy my supposed to be humorous offering.

Working with your hands isn't cool, its some simple task that could be cross trained between multiple people easily. tig welding in five easy steps..... "Working with your hands isn't cool" Hands make and repair some of the coolest stuff. All desk snobs, posh kardashian's and walton's sho...

Lets see pix of the hole.

And firearm safety, and the freedom we were given if we can keep it, and family values it takes a mother and a father to raise, and. . . . .

You may have emotion tied up in your post, I find it hard to read it as a rant.
More of an encouragement than complaint.

I have to assume the foam will not bond forever or anywhere near the hulls life expectancy.

Nice thing about paint is it can be refinished, we know it won't outlast the hull life expectancy.

looks amazing, see link below. I question the spray in sound deadening foam longevity.

Not very popular in my area.

Scored a couple of these stainless kegs and looking for ideas.
Fire pits, grills, cookers, furniture. . . .

One of the better cleaning jobs I have seen.
How much looks like that?
Cut out, replace sheet metal honey comb with new metal.

Had a cover for my old ski boat. No snaps, twist locks or any other fasteners.
The cover would lay over the boat with a pole near the center and had a cinch line like a hoody that pulled tight below the rub rail.
Worked great setting still through a few hurricanes. Never tried trailering with it on.

Foam removal tool tip I have used with some success. Chuck the long end of a 1/4" Allen key in a hand drill. Plunge the spinning short end into the foam. Proceed with caution.

Is this the Jimbo?

Very interesting project. Nice that it's not so big it requires a yard or special equipment to move and work on.

Thanks

Looks fun

"Welding steel is SOooo much easier than working with that miracle metal..." I'll fight you, but alas my muscles have been weakened from years of easy work with the lightweight aluminum. It cuts fast with wood working tools, when the hot bee bee's hit flesh they cool far faster than the ev...

I would have to look to know for sure. If I remember correctly Ernest Sims talks about riveting.
