Hi everyone,
I've just been down to my parent's place this weekend and have taken
some photos of the latest progress on our 28' x 10' "Bunny R" Bolger
designed Lobsterboat.
Dad has had 1/2 of the planking machined-up, 7/8" x 1" strips. It took
him and the joiner 5.5 hours to do it!
The garboard plank has been fitted and glued and screwed on. By the
time you read this maybe another 2 planks per side will be in place!
It is going to be a slow process, around about 6 months + /- a couple
of weeks to fully plank the hull!
We've ordered and paid for a new Yanmar 55HP 4cyl. 2.2 Litre Diesel,
(50HP Continous output at 2900 rpm and gearbox(2.61:1) + Shaft tube,
all the bearings and shaft seals and a 19" 3 blade propeller to suit
both engine and hull. We expect them to arrive in a week or so!
Its lucky that my brother and I are paying for this as there
will/should be no hold-ups in the construction procees due to
finnancial concerns.
I bought Dad the plans for Bolger's 23' Fantail launch from the Wooden
boat Shop for his birthday as well as a few interesting and nice books.
He really wants to build this boat too! Maybe it'll speed up the
construction of the Lobsterboat so he can get stuck into this design
which he really,really ,likes!.
I haven't heard back from Bolger as yet to the progress on "Silver
Blaze" the 26' "Torpedo Stern" runabout (based apon the "Snow Leopard"
design in BWAOM), but realistically even if he produced the plans
tomorrow we probably wouldn't be able to start construction for a
couple of years or so! Anyway, fuel prices are steadily climbing!
The photos are posted in the Folder: Tyson's "Lobsterboat Pictures",
