Chewy's Atlantic 21 project
Leading on from this thread:
http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread....light=atlantic
I now have this sat on my drive!
It came with the deck pre-cut, console, a frame and two stainless tanks amd rails for slide on tubes. Anyway its built like a brick outhouse!
Its Hensh's old boat, he used to frequent here a while back.

Deck fits pretty much spot on, rather than have it so it can be lifted out I think I'm gonna screw it down then glass over it....

Didn't the RNLI make their boats so they could be basically taken to bits every three years or something at Poole?

Are you going to leave tank removal and bilge pump access?

I believe this 21 isn't ex RNLI, looks more like an offshore FRC from the a frame and deck.
I'll leave it so the tanks can be accessed still but the deck was purely screwed down orignally.
One tank has a slight weap and still need to check the other.
Am open to suggestions on the best way to do things....

My old build thread might give you a few ideas, being a very similar design.
Not saying everything I did was the best way of course!

I'd have binned it and made a new one in aluminium but that's just me 
I would've made the under deck trunks twice the size as well. 
I reckon you got the right idea just screwing the deck down and glassing over. My removable sections make the whole process much more complicated, a couple of hatches would probably do instead.

That looks cracking....great deal. I was close to buying it from Ebay myself, which is probably just as well I didn't as I have would have had no scoob where to start.
Will really look forward to following it's progress. Lots of pics of each step would be very warmly received as I fancy taking on project like this.
Good luck with her.

It'll be a long process as money is the limiting factor, engines will more than likely be ex RNLI twin Yam 75's, single 200hp would be nice but twins offer redunancy for harbour mouth and surf fun.
I'll stick as many photos as I can up.
Any requests let me know before its glassed down....

Would it be feasable to convert it to inboard?
<edit> No point really I guess, it'd be near as dammit to a pac 22 then

Could be but the transom is already lower than a Searider. I've used an Atlantic 21 with twin 70's and so far its the best RIB I've used.....
I did look at Pacific's but I don't fancy the hassle and weight of an inboard.... got that with the Tremlett.
The outboards can be easily replaced in a couple of hours. Don't get me wrong if one came along at the right price.............

Fair.
Saying that, I've wanted to mess around with a pair of the mental HP VW common rail diesels and a couple of jets since they came out. I'll prob never do it because it'd cost a fortune, but it'd make a fun boat...

Chewy, I hate you already! An interesting project, a clean indoors area to work in, and a bike to boot. You don't know you are born

Fair play to you Chewey! Got the makeing of a Great RIB there  It will be interesting to us Lesser Mortals to see it ''come to life''.
Martini's experiance will be great advantage too! Good luck with her.

What a thing of beauty, have you had the weep fixed on the tank? They look stainless are they? if so find the leak and TIG over it.
