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. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

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. -------------------- Frank

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. -------------------- Frank

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. -------------------- Frank

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. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

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. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

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 . -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

QUOTE When you get there how about some close up shots of how the keel area fits together mate? 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. QUOTE work on my own so my methods differ 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. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

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.
QUOTE You must be seeing things Haven't used the grinder nor sanding disks as yet exept to huff finish nose 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....... -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

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 --------------------  |

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. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

QUOTE (Jumpus GooDarus @ Jul 17 2012, 07:57 PM)  Been slow of late but cabin just about done just consol & a few tidy ups left 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. -------------------- Frank

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

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. -------------------- Frank

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? -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

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. This post has been edited by nimrod: Jul 26 2012, 06:02 PM -------------------- Frank

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. -------------------- Frank

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 -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

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. |

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. |

Don't worry about the porpoising, when the arse sags from overhanging the trailer it will put a hook in the hull.
Built in trim tab for free  without turning the boat into a cripple with engine trim.
