Looking good! I was just at Chad's shop the end of July and saw your boat in cut-pieces form...I think they had just unloaded the truck before I had arrived.

Look at those frames, anyone else see a variable deadrise? That's almost unheard of in the current herd of offshore alloy craft.

End of week progress. :beer:

Next week or two - weld the Lift Strips, finish the bracket and then a lot of welding on the hull before it gets rolled over.

"Operator error" was the culprit for lack of photo's over the last few weeks, back in action again. :beer:

A boat with a variable deadrise hull, as you pointed out many posts ago!

I'll be going to check on progress again next month - it's mind numbing all the decisions that
have to made when building a custom designed and built boat.

I gotta ask..you dont have to tell..whats this hull likely to cost all said and done? (the aluminum & welding portion only). Looks like a fantastic boat..but looks like over $100K to me (out of my budget!!

Labor and materials for the hull & structure is around $100K

Labor and materials for the electrical, electronics, tankage, heater & stove, Yamaha F350, etc. is around $100K

Plus Naval Architect fee, trailer and all the other misc. items that come up is around $40K
