Aluminum 1 1/2, 2 1/4 and 3" tube. A local guy we work with he does great work. We are all good scratching it up, its a work boat... But the first scratch will bring a tear to my eye. Lets see pics of the 11m. We want to do an 11M next. Where did you get yours?
You are putting me to shame. I just put up the "temporary garage", so I can work through the winter on my boat. I'm suspecting this may be the first of a couple winters.
The boat looks great. You do great work. What made you go with the Suzuki's? I understand they are great, but I'm going to be hard pressed to come up with a reason to abandon the ETEC. Not a dig, just curious....
Thanks I cant take all the credit i have a great crew doing amazing work with me. We like suzukis we find them more reliable and are easeyer to maintain for the $. They also have great low end torque which is a must for our l ine of work. How are you comming on your avon? You replace the stringer yet?
Just bought the douglas fir stringers. I struggled on which way to go, and settled on the solid douglas fir... Since I'm starting from a completely gutted boat, I've spent alot of time drawing and throwing out drawings. I really like the look of the pure yachting rib, and I'm going to try to emulate. We'll see how it goes. I just moved the boat into a temporary garage to work this winter. I'll send some pictures soon.
We wanted to see how she would perform without the tubes. We have always heard they would run without tubes. Well we wanted to prove it could be done. It can!
We designed this arm so we can service all our pums/switch without crawling into bilge. We just spin 3 wing nuts and it slides up and out of the boat. Ah... We love it when an idea actually works!
