If he built them before he don't need ur niqqer ass telling him wtf to do

U sit n the back of the bus niqqer

Damn, Im surprised Dean didn't offer the man a jar of his home brew nut glue for this build

Any update?

He didnt work on it today, every now and then he goes to the nursing home in Thibodaux to play
music for them.

Pic update

Couple more

Looking good

What's the size

Lookin' good!

However, I see a gap between the chine log and bottom like I said there would be. He'll just have to shave the chine with some plywood to make a flush, tight fit.

Looks great Shannon ! I am so aggravated at mine it looks like a bulls azz stitched up with a loggin chain! So time consuming

Yeah he's coming along good , I stopped on may way back from fourchon to see where he was at, and he was
at the point of its time for me to go inside and D don't worry he's got that bruh , trust me.

Here's a couple more update pics, also he still hasn't received his sheet of plywood for the bottom, so he's going
at it slow but steady.

Is he gonna seal one side or glass the seams ? I made some mistakes on mine! I know y'all find that hard to be leave so I am gonna resin the out side and boil lendseed oil on the inside . That way when water gets in it can leave out as water and not as a gas traped between to Layers of glass witch I was told would rot the wood!

No he made the mistake and glassed the bottom on that 18 footer he had made an
it rotted due to trapped water ,he's going to put a couple coats of a copper infused green
colored wood preservative, ( I don't remember the name of it) basically the same stuff
they put on the pressure treated stuff .you just can't put too much or your paint tends
to peel . I'll post pics of it when he gets to that point.

Well as of today he still hasn't received his sheet for the bottom , it seems the place that
scarfs the sheets for robichoux lumber hasn't been able to due to the weather, anyways here
are a few update photos

Also sorry I missed a couple answers from previous posts;
It's a 1548 , 66 across the top.
The sides are 1/4".
The bottom will be 3/8".

Looking good

Very nice

Nice job! Think I see he had to dig into the ply side panel a bit to flatten chine though.

Can't wait to see him beat FD

I'd love to ride out there and lend a hand one weekend.

Hopefully he can get his sheet for the bottom in sometime soon so he can get that
done and flipped back over. Also it's hard to tell looking at pictures , but it looks like he's
gonna have a good bit of room and that's what he shooting for.

Man it looks good! I know where you get your skills from now!

Haha thanks, spent many hours underneath them old wings in the learning department , started
when I was 12 helping to do some of the first dock and bulkhead extensions in Fourchon , and still
learning .

Still no bottom plywood as of yet

I bought 3/8 marine ply from Robicheauxs last year. $200 per sheet. 2 sheets of 4 x 16. One broke in half at the scarf on the way back. Used on my skiff bottom and the other on pirogue I'm currently building.

Can't wait to see your stuffing box set up.

Best thing n the world, right here

He's going to be figuring out the materials he needs for us to build his skeg, rudder, stuffing box and various
other what nots seat etc y'all get the picture tomorrow so we can start working on them.

I think he said that know-it-all dguidry fukked up the wood by not bracing it.?

And I'm surprised the jackass ain't trying to tell the ol man how to play his music too .
