Recycled boat part 29

Note the bilge keels in there positions to be fixed.

I have bought the bolts couldn't get stainless bolts so zinc plated will have to do.I will cover them in grease when I put them in. I have been battling to straighten the keel before I put in the bilge keels and have used a jack to straighten the keel jacking from the deck. There was a few crunches and groans from the deck timber and I have finally got it straight.I used packing on the keel and under the deck to spread the load.I have left the camera in the shed so will post photos tomorrow.

Got some timber from the tip and have stripped it into usable pieces for the keel.
The saw blade is getting a bit dull thats why the circular burn marks.

This shows what you gets for your money I have stripped the door parts off and cut one piece into parts...
Hows that two posts on the boat in the one day. I am going out to get some stainless bolts to bolt them on this afternoon.You might be lucky and get another post today. O how did your holidays go mine were good. Cheers Stewart

Recycled boat part 27

On reflexion the boat has a soft floor and seems too flexible. It is from putting the deck on the boat and placing the weight on the gunnels and this forces the bottom to bow upwards, If the seats are attached to the floor as originally the weight is spread on the floor and the bowing is less pronounced but is still there.The keel may have some rot in it. I will fit some bilge keels to strenghten the hull and attach the seats to these. So its back to the tip for more timber....So much for a cheap boat but I am enjoying the process. The bilge keels will trap air as on power catamarans and give a softer ride.It may even plain because there is less friction between the hull and the water something like a hovercraft, time will tell.
