Hi Brian,
It's only my opinion, but there is a LOT more to it than the conning
tower. Any thru hulls, maybe battery pods, motor mounts and all the ribbing.
My thought is get started and do what you can and if the project takes longer
so what. That's part of the reason mine is taking as long as it is. When I'm
busy I have the money but not time. When I'm not busy I have the time but not
the money.
Best Regards,
Jim K

Hi All,
I'm having a
bit of a delema deciding wheather or not to go with
either 3/8" thick
hull or 1/4" hull. I'm thining that initially maybe I
should go
with the 1/4" now (so I can get this off the ground) mainly due to
budget
constraints and then at a later date upgrade to the thicker hull,
which
would take me deeper. My question is how hard would it be to cut
out
the conning tower( 3/4" thick) from the 1/4" hull and paste it on to
a 3/8"
thick hull at a later date? Would I need to grind out all of the
weld seam?
And would that adversly effect the metal in that area by
rewelding?
Thanks,
Brian
