When you get there how about some close up shots of how the keel area fits together mate?

Posted by: Fed May 20 2012, 03:29 PM

I nearly forgot, you're behind the times mate, nowdays you build a shell & drive stringers up its arse with a sledge hammer.

BTW, I call bullshit on pressure testing to 150 PSI without a bomb containment unit to put it in.

I'm no engineer but I seriously doubt a 4mm square ally tank would survive 150 PSI without major deformation, maybe Pelagic meant 150 KPA.

Interesting to watch 2 plate threads at the same time.

Posted by: Fed May 20 2012, 05:45 PM

Ahh that's better, no bullshit just a mistake.

Posted by: nimrod May 20 2012, 11:02 PM

Of coarse you know that thread was started as a deliberate attempt to take away any focus that may have been Jumpy's way. and to some how put a bit of shit on Jays thread.
I strongly believe Jumpy should have started an entire new thread with his build, not start his build 11 pages into a thread.
But what would I know.

Posted by: Fed May 21 2012, 12:00 AM

I didn't see it like that Frank but you could be right.
It will be interesting to see the different ways people do it.
One thing I'd like to know is the time frame around the Pelagic pictures.

Posted by: nimrod May 21 2012, 01:18 AM

Fed it is meant to depict Jay as 2nd rate, but I think it will turn around and bight Spiro on the arse.

Those pictures are from a factory made boat and has probably taken 3-4 weeks to get to that stage with god knows how many guys working on it, they do so much to one boat, then leave it sit for a while as they do a bit more to other boats and so forth, probably got 5-5 boats going at the one time at verious stages.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus May 21 2012, 02:48 AM

Frank i could have a ball in that thread if i wanted to but i'll let the groupies alone

Guy was talking shit in my thread reckoned he used a jig & i'll tell you now that is crock

Seen it done his way back when i built the jumpus whilst visiting predator boats & didn't like it one bit some of the gaps i saw is what got me thinking how to over come them & reason i built a proper jig

Posted by: nimrod May 21 2012, 11:10 PM

When you went to predator, was shortly after those guys took over the name and factory, that's where my T I G machine came from it was used to build the boats up till that stage.
When them guys took over from my mates they had 1/2 a boat built, which they finished and the one you seen would probably be the 1st maybe 2nd attempt they had of building a plate boat.
So don't judge the previously built Predators as being anything like the frame you seen, the old predators were a country shit house as solid as a rock.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus May 22 2012, 02:51 AM

I knew the original owner of predator from 30 years back frank

He used to work for Broadbill

Posted by: Fed May 22 2012, 04:44 AM

WTF?

180 - 146 = 34

Posted by: poly May 23 2012, 12:29 AM

can i have this one when its finished, it may convince me tin boats are ok after all
Paul

Posted by: Fed May 23 2012, 01:45 PM

A couple of questions Jumpy.

What's going on with the predator boat he doesn't seem to have welded the side sheets to the frames except for one, there's huge gaps in the rest?

Are you putting outriggers on your hull or stabi waterwings, surely it will fall over with a 34 degree deadrise.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus May 24 2012, 03:23 AM

wot you on about fed

Posted by: Fed May 24 2012, 05:44 AM

You said your deadrise was 24 then you changed it to 34 and at 34 it would fall over in the water without outriggers or waterwings.

How is it going, you have to be enjoying the cooler weather after the previous summer builds.

BTW the guy from Predator explained that if he welded the side sheets to the frames it causes distortion so they don't normally do it like that unless it's a survey boat so don't worry about my previous question.

MORE PICTURES PLEASE MATE.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus May 25 2012, 01:43 AM

Been coming home tired

Who's this predator guy you're on about ??

Posted by: Fed May 25 2012, 02:08 AM

The guy from predator boats.

Coming home tired is a good sign of plenty of work getting done.

After the last builds we're all expecting huge progress every day, you're getting too old and slowing down mate. Be careful you don't blow a valve .

Is the mutt different I seem to remember he had some white around one eye?

Have you sourced the fuel line yet, remember you had trouble getting it before?

NB: Don't forget the new & improved breather cover. ;)

Pelagic not Predator, it only took 9 days for the penny to drop...Duh.

Come on Jumpy how about some pictures?

Hey your camera has developed white spot desease.

Posted by: Fed Jun 4 2012, 03:59 PM

How will you fit the tranny through that little hole?

I noticed in the big boat build you used 8 blocks on the inside of the transom to stop the skin pulling in, a question, why did you need the lower blocks as the bottom holes were well below the raised up section?
Did you have additional bracing inside the transom, I noticed there were some vertical grind marks on the outer skin at one point and thought they might have been a touch up from internal welding.
I wish you were building at home I'd come & visit, how about trying to arrange an open day at your mates workshop for an hour so that anyone who is interested can come & look.
A bit hard I know, the last thing your mate needs is strangers disrupting his work.


You're probably faster on your own anyway and I'm betting you would fire the 'help' before they got settled in to doing it your way.
Jumpy's way or the highway!

Looking good Jumpy.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jun 5 2012, 04:22 AM

Feed the tranny shrinking pills prior
Cant tell ewe all my secrects



You must be seeing things
Haven't used the grinder nor sanding disks as yet exept to huff finish nose

Haven't really touched transom yet either, haven't decided whether to inner or outer engine mounting points



I dont

This thing is coming out micky mouse my best effort yet wasted last few days glass'n floatation hate the stuff very time consuming all done & some of it is in the hull

Floor starts tommoro had a bit of a nightmare sorting out the underfloor sprinkler system got tricky with all the under floor tube work

Hoping to flip it over next day or so & start on the trailer

Looks like it's getting powered by a yammy F150

Posted by: Fed Jun 5 2012, 12:57 PM

OK be a wanker, I thought you would use a wetbox for the tranny, I'm surprised it shoots through both the SIKAFLEX and the BIRDSHIT without losing too much power.

You must not be seeing things I was talking about the big boat build, I thought I said that.
Oh yes, I did.

If you're using a proprietary sprinkler system be aware they clog up pretty easily & sometimes blow the fittings off.

I think I prefer the angular look for the raised foredeck like the big boat (did you see that) to the curved raised section you trimmed out for this one.
Knowing you it will look great though, I have no eye for that stuff anyway.

Carry on.......

Posted by: Fed Jun 15 2012, 03:44 PM

Looks like a lot of boat overhanging at the back mate, perhaps it's just the picture?

I feel like we've been spoiled watching the other builds, get your finger out and work faster.

Posted by: jack Jun 17 2012, 07:31 PM

Hi Jumpy

This new trailer system you are using might look convenient but I'd stick with the trailer system you used for your "old" boat.
It really slows you down, welding the trailer to the bottom of the boat.

take the slr next time you are out there.

Jack

Posted by: Stickman Jun 18 2012, 12:02 AM

The new boat is looking very sexy Jumpy.
I hope there is a invite for me on its maiden voyage.

Seal up the floor 2mollo so borrowered mates spray booth 2 du paintings



did get start on cabin

Posted by: Fed Jun 28 2012, 04:48 PM

A smaller version of the big boat Jumpy?
Do you drive standing up or sitting down, I'm about 50/50 but the older I get the more I find myself sitting down. I like to look over the screen when standing & though the screen when sitting and still have my feet on the floor when sitting.
I'm guessing you will still look through the screen when standing just like the big boat.
I'm a huge fan of hard tops but wind in your face on a hot day is hard to beat, make some air scoops for the front deck & pipe fresh air through to the wheelhouse or put a hatch in the roof that hinges at the back & you can crack open the front a few inches, instant air conditioning.
Looking good mate, hurry up.

Posted by: NetPez Jun 28 2012, 05:43 PM

looking very goodarus jumpy
i like feds idea about wind scoops
and i hope you leave the roof short enough so that water drips down your back

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 4 2012, 01:12 AM

Bit of a break of late sorta did sum work 2day
Droped the fuel tanks in & sealed the floor

used neoprene cushioning



tanks in & plumbed up



now i can walk around inside without fear of falling in the hole

Posted by: Fed Jul 4 2012, 02:06 AM

I guess you checked it out but don't forget the problems Quintrex had with their rubber pads in the old days.

Stop getting crook & work harder we want ACTION!

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 9 2012, 03:39 AM

Up yours ewe shinny head

Dont look like it but there's alot of work in pics below very time consuming

Looking spoofy pal...

Posted by: nimrod Jul 17 2012, 06:43 PM

Always wondered why alloy boat builders don't build the cabins to the outside of the gunwale ?
This would give a little more elbow room inside the cab.
And provide a nice little shelf either site of cab for sitting things on.
I know the controls and such would have to be adjusted but in my opinion the benefits would far outweigh any problems.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 18 2012, 01:18 AM

Personally i couldn't think of anything that would be more ugly & impractical as that

Ever been on a seafairy & tried walking to the bow ??

They have to rely on a hatch to access front bollard

Just about done under cabin snaped a pic late this arvo & as usual came out crap with flash going off reflecting off alloy

Wittle curved overhead consol , glove compartment ect

Posted by: nimrod Jul 18 2012, 03:00 AM

Owned a seafairy for 5 years and never had the need to walk to the bow, with a alloy boat a decent sized front door could be made, if the need to walk to the bow was there. But yes I can see the point that for those that want to walk along a shinny gunwail to get to the bow, it would be a problem.

Posted by: Fed Jul 18 2012, 06:17 PM

Where are the ashtrays going Jumpy?

I thought it would be a pain but it turned out being no trouble at all using the Seafarer trapdoor, you can stand up in it and it frees up both hands for doing the anchor stuff.

Some bastard welded a bit of scrap onto your cabin side mate, you better cut that ugly POS off quick smart.

Your last pic reminded me I need to find a new milk crate, lost the last one when I cleaned out the old factory.... short of mugging a milkman where the hell do you get a milk crate I wonder?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 19 2012, 01:45 AM

Not everyone likes their goats the same way frank
I hate those hatch's & like the option of being able to walk to the bow

Ewe still alive shinny

A few close ups of yesterday's pic

overhead consol



niche housing switch panels



stand off for steering wheel didn't realise till late this arvo silly me welded it in back to front do a new wun 2morro



Sounder, gps housings



glove box & shit bar

Posted by: Fed Jul 19 2012, 05:42 PM

When I saw the wheel stand off I thought it was just the camera tricking me you silly bugger.
What's the big dent in it did you whack it with a hammer?

Have you ordered the VERY thick paint yet, colour scheme?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 26 2012, 02:18 AM

Just about done now hoping to get paint on sides & hull by weekend

Jumpy. You have done well again, always that little bit harder when the health wont stay pase with the goal, but you are getting there and I know it's gonna be yet another cracker of a boat.

BTW do you know anyone that might be interested in my T I G machine, just needs the switch rewired.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 27 2012, 02:40 AM

Very happy with this wun

Dont really get full view in the workshop pulled it out today ready for paint
Had to stop & absorb it every time i walked in / out shop

Looks nothing like that ugly looking pez this goat has style

Nice one .

Posted by: nimrod Sep 7 2012, 03:01 PM

Jumpy. just 2 small critisims 1 and it';s not really vital cause it's a drive on, but the winch cradle/post in my mind could be about 3 inches higher, it appears to me that the winch cable would not be allinged properly with the winch hook of the boat and the last few turns of the winch ( the vital part ) you would be draging the boat nose down more then forward which would put strain on both winch and boat. ( quiet easily remedied by placing block under wince to lift it that 3 ".
The other small critism I would rather discuss eye to eye next time I see you cause it's pretty involved.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Sep 8 2012, 02:21 AM

Built a few now frank & honestly cant find any merit in what you're saying
Boat is a drive on for starters i dont use the winch

Winch post hight was purposely lowered on this rig compared to the others

Logic told me it would drag nose down coupled by strap over arse of boat

It aint going no where on the road

I hope it doesn't rain...drip,drip,drip,drip....

That's a lot of weight behind the last point of support on the trailer Jumpy, at the big fish tail fin?
Yeah I know, I know,... "get F**Ked FED" but seriously it's a big ask for a tinny to carry.

Hope it goes great today, I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Posted by: Stickman Oct 4 2012, 09:14 PM

Jumpy i have been watching each post on this thread with interest. And its all come together just the way you wanted it to. You are a freak and i tip my hat to you. After today,s little spin in the bay it was enough to give me a little stiffy. I am look forward to getting out there in the deep blue sea with you and getting a bit of blood on the deck.
Ten out of Ten mate its a cracking boat!

Cheers Nob.

Keep trying pad1learner

Posted by: kkw Oct 10 2012, 12:58 PM

Pretty fish. Are they goldfish? They aren't black......
Any seals or jackets around. Enough space, with the big box in the middle of the deck? I have a 90l esky in my boat and it can be a P.I.T.A. at times. Think I will leave it at home when I take the boat out next. Never put fish in it anyway. Good going.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Oct 10 2012, 01:14 PM

Wun seal did rock up but we weren't ketch'n anything @ the time strangely no jackets but it was quite virtually all day marking fish all day but they weren' ett'n



More than enough & i wouldn't be without it no good having a big empty void cockpit esp when in sloppy seas

Posted by: Stickman Oct 10 2012, 01:16 PM

Thanks of the day out it was a great day on the water in the new boat.
I am always learning from you flapper and i wont be shy in saying you are a pretty good angler "and you know it"

I can say this " i wont be walking around with my head up my ass thinking i know it all" not like the others you have taught.

Cheers Nob!

Posted by: kkw Oct 10 2012, 03:24 PM

Whew!!! That's letting them all know. I can't even touch my toes so no worries about me walkin around like that. Glad I learnt to fish at an early age, and still learning. Is this one of the experts you mentioned, nob?

Posted by: quintrex101 Oct 10 2012, 11:45 PM

Wow nice looking boat, i can't believe you built another one haha. What do you do with all your boats now ? i might have missed it but do you still have the other 2 boats ? and was there any reason for building this one ?

Either way looks great

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Oct 11 2012, 01:52 AM

Well the only reason i went for a fish fed

Was to piss ewe off

Na boat is great, donkey power on back can get a bit scary if i dont ease throatle forward boat just shoots off like a bat out of hell

Tell ewe what it sits nicely in water weight transfer dosen't worry it @ all

did have a bit of a worry yesterday when i 1st opened throatle, boat was porpoising like a jack rabbit on heat

Bear in mind boat is new to me & it's been many moons since i've been behind the wheel quick plat with trim sorted that prob out

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Oct 11 2012, 01:54 AM

Well i have wun 4 a munday a 2'sday a wednesday & every udder day



Seemed like a goodarus idea @ the time

Posted by: Fed Oct 12 2012, 05:01 PM

Don't worry about the porpoising, when the arse sags from overhanging the trailer it will put a hook in the hull.

Fugly but if it works better then I guess it's OK, not keen on the name change either.

Posted by: nimrod Jan 26 2016, 07:43 PM

My honest opinion I preferred it with the white cabin, but the addition of the bow mount electric is nice.
Could have left the bow rail on and just modified it around the leckie.
