RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
Misshydro, you didn't tell the whole story. Here's your post from YOUR BUILD THREAD IN YOUR FORUM. As you should know by now, we must not leave out details in a build thread
Ok guys I'm building a dumas sport40 wood hydro kit...I'm doning this to prove some guys wrong,that I can build wooden boats...Its about close to half way built...its been about a week into it... I'm still waiting to see you build from plans, but we that know you know that's never going to happen |
RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
Ok I'm done with you HJ!!! . The more my build progress the more your trashing me..Your the one who's been baggering me for three year to build...Now I got somthing to build,your starting to get scared bigtime...You got 7+boats that are half built and its been over 4+ years now,not even one is done yet...your jellious that I'm building my boat faster then you are...So here the 5 words to you..put up or shut up...Get your boats built!!!!!!!!! Or other wise shut up.....As for the true story Hj I did enjolly the build intill you started in with me and trashing me..That why I'd posted on my site I'm doing this to prove acouple of guys wrong about me building.....Plus I didnt mention about Bill because I didnt want you to know who gave me that boat eighter!!I did thanks Bill big time about that boat too.Your the one who'd started this,etching me on about ,saying I couldnt build a wooden boat...This will be number 2 that I'd proved you wrong about me, a girl can build a wooden boat is driving you nuts big time..!I'm here to learn and to build boats ,not to trash people like you do,,,!So move on and get a life.

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
Not even. Just making sure everyone knows that it wasn't a true gift, it was a freebie obtained through a gifting thread. And just so you know, I told Bill he could help you out. He saw what was going on in your other build thread and didn't know what to do. Get your facts straight before you start spouting your propaganda. IF you had let it stay a simple build thread instead of bragging about your motives over on your forum, you wouldn't be dealing with this now

Hi Yota good to see ya around.
Misshydro since it's picture time maybe ones of mine will help. I built my tanks inside the hull with no hatches, plus did away with the flapper valve on the drain pan and just built it open style. Added a spray lip to the cowl opening. I dont like the style of the cowl so I might make my own. I knew putting the tanks in without any way to get to them might be a problem so I greased everything up with silicone sealer when I assembled the tank stoppers and hoped for the best. If they leak, the boat will make excellent kindling for the fireplace. Actually, cutting hatches in after its done isn't really hard to do. You just have to repaint your work thats all. I cut and allowed for 1/8" square maple strips to the bottom of the sponson insides to give the air traps a more durable edge. |

Jet do you have any ugly engines lol

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
oh yes he does..lol!!!!

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
Hey Jet,
Was your Eagle spray painted or was it done with a brush? I used a Preval sprayer before with good results, however I'm still tempted to brush it on too...http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../omg_smile.gif |

It was sprayed on by me in a corn crib at a farmhouse on a cold and cloudy october day with only a 40 watt light bulb to see with. No joke. I brush painted the corners before I sprayed the first coat to wet them down. I find that works pretty good.
The first two boats I ever made were brush painted and almost wish I had brush painted the eagle because with the right brush and thinner, epoxy paint goes on really nice with a brush, and lays out flat without any overspray or pebbles. Do ya'll like this one? |
RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
Is that a before or after picture?.......I;m diggin' the red RTV on the exhaust header[img]file:///C:/Users/Ron/Pictures/rock2.gif[/img]

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
JP I think you can save the motor mount & the exhaust coupler . nice job on that Hull for a corn crib spray booth . I like to use a lot more lights on my brush work It helps laying down a good coat.

Well I got the hatches cut out for the fuel tanks...
|
RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
[:-][:-] I can't believe you sliced your hull! :)
Don't worry, there's always tape or screws to fix it with. How are you going to attach that hatch? |
RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
had two ways to do it.. one is the use 6 screws into faseners like the motor mount boltup on the sides are...two 4 screws type locks on them..will make a rubber gaskets for them too...

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
looks good, double check the fuel system before you deck that critter!!
|
RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
I took a break from boating. My boats sat for several years. When I came back. All my fuel tanks had to be redone. The rubber seals got dry & cracked. High nitro & age, just worn out. I would try to make brass fuel tanks. solder & heating Iron. Look at Nicklas fuel tank layout on his website, KEP .21 BLUPRINT.

RE: Dumas sport40 eagel build..
I got that plus all the kep and JAG rigger plans printed..did that two nights ago..I have a pair side dubbler can use that as a template to make the fuel tanks if needs too.
