Re: New open sled build
Reel sweet rig and great job! I am about to venture into my own boat building. I am looking to build something in the 18-20ft range with a v bow. I have a 24'x72" flat bottom plate boat for commercial fishing and would like another boat with a v bow for comm fishing during rough water days. I am ready to start and have the Pollard book however I have yet to pull the trigger on the Python gun due to being unsure on laying out the V on the bottom/front of the boat. How would you have built the V in this boat if you would have went that way? thanks and I appreciate your fine work and skills. Netman
Re: New open sled build
Reelsong - I really like your "fish" symbol design on the bow. Lookes nice and has good meaning.
Re: New open sled build
Thanks Fisherman, , Netman, you can buy a pattern or there's some great softwear out there, look on spectrum boats, or give Chris with CTMD a shout.
Re: New open sled build
Reel without hacking your thread up I would like to get a pattern and take to a Louisiana shop and have them to cut the patterns out so I could return home to Indiana and start welding. Alum and cutters are a dime a dozen in La.
Re: New open sled build
Gotcha, I can give Jim a call, the guy who cut my bottom plate or give him a call yourself, at RBboats, he might just sell you a paper pattern.
Re: New open sled build
I know most of you like to keep aluminum unpainted but I had enough material left from the big build so I painted the sled today. Hope you like it, maybe next time sand blast and acid wash.

Looks good. Matching boats is what a man needs.

Re: New open sled build
That sucks that there is no Lifting Eyes bolted to the engine. Check with Lloyd to see if there is a special lift strap required,

Re: New open sled build
Yea, I'll call Lloyd in the AM. No lifting eye's like my old yammies
Re: New open sled build
Had to build a plate with three holes and a lifting eye and bolt to flywheel. Hung them today

Re: New open sled build
I really like that setup for ANY kind of fishing! Look at all that ROOM! Geezie wheezies, that is a fishing guide's dream boat for inland applications I would think...and I wouldn't be averse to inshore/nearshore when conditions were suitable.Chaps wrote:Jetty, if you saw how we fish rivers out here your jaw would be on the ground, everything is arse backwrds
