Thread: Pontoon Dingy build.

Slow progress today.

It's only tacked up and has a twist in it I am not happy with so will have to cut some tacks and move her around a bit but starting to look more boat like.

Are you going to do a mock up keel or straight to the alloy?

I was going to bend up a flat on edge and tack it bow and stern and a few props inbetween for something to lay a pattern against and cut/trim/cut/trim etc till I have a hull shape/pattern I am happy with then into the Alloy sheet.

It will be variable dead rise as with the reverse chine it is effectively a flat hull at the stern, how much it will vari will be look and see at the time as doing a variable naturally has the bow higher on the plane due to the diverging lines of the keel and chine and I donot want the bow to ride so high as to limit visibility.
