JEM Watercraft

Based on your build and review, I bought the plans for the Sabalo. I have the plans now, but since we had a recent addition to the family, I don't have the time to start it yet.

You won,t be dissapointed................follow Matts plans to the letter............I over built mine in some areas which added more weight

I'm back at work so paddling time is a bit limited ........but i plan to do some speed trials with GPS

I'll keep you informed

My proggress on the new boat is slow at the moment ..............to bloody hot.

Cheers Paul

Ventured out to my beer drinking table and noticed something had appeared again

After some thought I decided as the weather is still good I can drink outside and maybe encourage this growth on my table



It would seem Wadfish has a shorter cockpit than Sabalo

Is your Wadefish the 15x32 new plan

Mike

Mike its the 15-27 I tried to talk her into the 15-32

But she said that due to her short arms she would prefer a narrower boat

Got the cockpit framing glued up today

This thing keeps growing



Some really nasty curves at the stern keel area ....not to concerned if I have to fudge it as it will be covered by graphite later

A bit more growth..............



Wadefish transom model slight change of design Matt



Tankwell and cockpit ready for glassing you can just see my beer drinking table

After browsing the site I was intrigued by Aloha Dans mirage drive housing

I kinda thought this could be adapted to scuppers and decided to run with it


scuppers laid up out of ply and shaped to hull


Test fit




Glue up from bow


View from stern

These are scuppers for cockpit... ones in footwell are a definite go'er smaller ones in seat area I will drill out only if needed......... blocking will always be there

One of Brides design demands is a dry bum

As you can see shortened under seat stowage area so things can be reached.......Bride has short arms

Looks great. I like the scupper idea.

Thought I'd post a few more pictures of my scuppers.........quiet pleased at how they are turning out
