I have to say
you do amazing work 
now does it have full canvas or is still on the list 

rasbury

How do you have the time to do all of this? Heck I don't have time to wash mine these days much less re build it! You do need to do a power point from start to finish, would be a very interesting transformation to see. Really nice work, hat's off!

Thanks @javhav. I saw Moler and thought it was a new company. Probably spell check correcting from Melors. I have contacted them. They don't have my template but I might go ahead and do one.

javhav

@zaverin1 thanks for the compliment  but as far as the top I just found out that the canvas I have for her aren't the rite ones the only one that's rite is the one over the helm I need to find the back one

After following this thread I’m waiting for @javhav to bust out a sewing machine and spool of thread and make canvas from scratch lol. 

You mean after he grows the cotton and spins his own thread? 😄

Dude_Himself

I've made my own canvas. It's a lot of work.

Dude_Himself

If you don't mind me asking: how much was the flooring @javhav?

javhav

reneechris14

Thats a good height just did mine and i should of went up and inch in the back. I end up with a scum line just above the paint. The admiral puts to much stuff in the boat.

It's a treat watching your build.  You have left no stone un-turned on that boat. Definitely going to be worth it! 

ALLFORARI

So, I have been a bit MIA and come back to this thread that I totally missed.  I am in awe of your ability to do it all.  This boat may be the best looking 342 on the planet when your done!

Dude_Himself

It's not hard - you take a few yards and sew them together into a big panel - then drape and mark. Then sew, drape, and mark. Sew, drape, and mark. Once you have the top panel done you start adding the side curtains. Sew, drape, mark. I got quality fabric for under $500, and I spent about a week working on it. I have a buddy who traded me the finish work (it's not much - sewing in some supporting webbing) for some IT work. HE has a long-arm machine that'll make it much easier.

Painted and installed the engine  covers getting ready for this weekend shake down

Good luck on your launch

reneechris14

The weather is on your side today good luck with the splash down. You will love the ride of the 12' beam. May the seas be on your side.

rasbury

The seas need to be under his boat!
