Default RE: the unofficial home of the dumas dauntless

Hi Shipwrights;
I am building my first "Dauntless" and I am getting great joy from this site. I really like the idea of a site for "Dauntless" builders. I am in the process of glassing the cabin sides now using two ounce E glass and West Systems epoxy. No fumes! I have two 700 BB turbo motors for it. I hope these will give her some get up and go. This is my first electric power boat so I am shooting in the dark. I extended the bow up to look like abandoned Dauntless in the Virgin Islands. I say this is my first "Dauntless" because I have another to build when this one is done. Hopefully I will learn from the first. The next one will be aircraft birch plywood. May be the one after that will be light ply with solid mahogany strip planking. I hope the new site is up and running soon. Happy New Year and happy building to all.
