The boat looks so nice, you don't even need to paint it!

I also like the Mercury motor in the trash can back there.

By my count, just in Washington's division of Region 10, 15-17 new boats should be heading for the first turn come this spring...should be fun!

Boat looks nice Darren...any idea what it weighs? I am done with decks on mine, attached the deck fins Sunday, now working on the front cowling. Thought I could get 3 mil to bend around the radius...but no luck. So....I need to go buy some "bender board"....unless somebody out there has some ideas as to getting wood to bend in a 17 inch radius....5 US

[Bill Huson]

3mm should bend around a 17" radius easy, even bend around a 17" diam curve. If it gives you a tussle soak it for a day or so, then clamp it around the curve you want and let it dry. There's a thing called "springback" when bending wood - wet/steam/or glue lam - so you might want to trim an inch off the bending form to sort of overbend it so it will be on it after springback. I've bent wet 6mm 5 ply around a 6" radius curve that way.

3mm ply is known as "bending plywood"cause it is used to laminate cylindrical hulls or soft chine hulls in a process known as cold molding. Soft chine shape is similar to the legendary "Wolverine" runabouts of the `50s.

I rough cut the cowl pieces then soak just the outer side of the plywood , the outer ply will expand while the iner ply wont that starts the bend. I put each end on a suport with weights in the middle over night. I resoak the outside when I go to fit them and put them on. Even the stiff sapele wood bends right around.

Dave,

Edensaw sells 1.5 mm, 3 ply okume. Really easy to bend.

Cowling

Thanx for all of the info....I will try soaking wood tonite and see what happens....

[bill boyes]

Dave it can be done . Bezots boats are bent that way. it is a real pain but I do it with 2 helpers to get a nice fit. I use 3 mm. Will not even attempt with 4 mm.

If you find a spare Wolverine cheap lemme know. Actually I'd like a `55 vintage A.N.A. (Associated Navel Architects) 14' runabout. Then I could relive my misspent youth since I have the Mark 25 like the one I had back then.
