RE: OS Max .65 vr-m

About 5 yrs ago, my first ever ebay purchase was a K&B .82 inboard engine. The pictures of the engine looked great-almost brand new. I ended up paying about $150 for it and when it came in the...

RE: MaxCatV1-L Scratch Build

I've got some experience buiding wood boats and I know that it is very difficult trying to get a large deck epoxied down before the epoxy starts to harden. In the warm Florida temps, 30 min epoxy...

RE: 3/16" Solid shaft hardware?

J, I may have what you're looking for. If I do, I'll send it to you free since I'm never going to use it. I'm sending you a PM.

RE: MaxCatV1-L Scratch Build

MaxCorvette, what is the CG of your cat and with your experience with it, how much would you change it on your next build? I've got my plans printed out and I'll start the build later in the summer....

RE: Dubro tank install

I do the same thing as Mart does in my AM Avenger with a hard tank. I've got a gas bag in my scratch-built wood mono. I like it a lot better and won't be going back to hard tanks with vent lines ;)...

You already answered that when you said that you could get 3/16" plywood at Home Depot in a 4 X 8 sheet. 1"=25.4mm 3/16"=.187" .187 X 25.4=4.49 Therefore, your 3/16" plywood is just...

RE: MaxCatV1-L Scratch Build

You're absolutely correct Doug. I guess I should've looked at my plans a little bit before I made the comment about 1/4" thick stringers. 3 layers of 4mm is way thick in places!

RE: MaxCatV1-L Scratch Build

Actually, the 3/16" wood is about 4.5mm. The expensive hobby wood that you're talking about is probably aircraft birch plywood. Very good stuff. I used Okoume plywood for my monohull build. It...

RE: MaxCatV1-L Scratch Build

I'm looking at the same issue with wood only 48" long. When I built my 48" wood mono, I needed 1/4" thick wood for the stringers. I only had 1/8" thick plywood so I epoxied 2 pieces together to...

RE: Quick gas bag question

I run my gas bag underneath my engine which (on my boat) is just forward of the CG. So far its been working great.

I need a little more forward CG since my wood mono tends to be "flighty" at...

Thanks again for the compliment on my boat, Doug [sm=biggrin.gif] . I'm usually counting every nickel as well since this is a very expensive hobby. Very expensive! I was just thinking that the...

RE: Should I buy a belt sander for scratch-building?

Doug, I'll go take a look at my local Home Depot and Lowes when I get a chance. Even though I think that I'd like a larger sander, I'm open to the smaller, cheaper ones as well. I'd like to start...

I was looking at the Craftsman sanders such as this one: Craftsman

I've built one boat from scratch-the 48" woodie that everyone has built by now :D !

RE: Another 48" woody build

Okay, I see. It looks like Zenoah makes some true "weedeater" type engines in addition to their "RC" engines. The "weedeater" type is what you've got in your boat.
