Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have had a few from 30ft down to 13 ft but don't have any photos. Ant that CJR14 has seen a few better days, if you have had the deck up check the keel board they have a habit of being rotten. While you have the deck up fill the hull with empty pop bottles cram in as many as you can, far better than any foam as they do not take in water like foam. It also limits the amount of water you will take on board should you hole the hull. Nice stable little sea boats those apart from the slap slap when at anchor and the bang bang in any sort of wave. The centre keel does not protrude forward enough to cut the water before the side keels hit the wave hence the bang bang. TC 2 Quote Link to post

TC yeah tell me about it lol that pic was when i was still trying to scrape it back to origanal gel coat. ive taken it right back now and checked the hull over, and its not to bad. but i have had to replace the transom as someboddy had cut it to take a short shaft and not glassed it over properly so was rotten. and now rain and short nights have stopped play for a while. lucky i didnt give a great deal for it. lucky the foam under the floor is fine surprisingly (first thing i did) Quote Link to post
