Chubby, you're certainly getting on quickly. What have you used for your longitudinals, it's not clear from your picture. Have you scarfed them into the originals or butt jointed them?

its polyurethane sheet same as origanally used , with a wooden capping butted up to original, its only really a former for the grp, the grp overlaps back onto the remaining stringers

Aha, now I see. It looked on your original photo as though it was solid wood but I can see the foam ends now that you mention it. I was puzzled by the capping strips too but now it's clear. Ta.

You will be sooner in the water than I am!! I'm still thinking about the engines. I have to build a new console in the back, wrap around if possible. One tank out, smaller tank back... Two lockers in front, one locker astern, radar, fishfinder etc

Pff, glad when it's afloat!!

I've been saying that for a while now! I think you've got a lot of very long nights ahead of you to get that done in 3-4 weeks!

chubby · 03 July 2008, 21:00

Console To Take Raymarine E120 Plotter
Icom Radio And Dsc And Engine Gauges

Very nice console you've got there!!. From what make is it? Just like I'm searching for. We've taken the deck of now and are making de engine beds ready. Engine will be a 6ly3a 380 or 440hp, coupled to Konrad sterndrive.

Good luck

chubby · 11 July 2008, 04:11

made the console myself, can make you one if you like

In a mould or glassed over?

Simon, in a mould. It's the same console that Nasher, Jimbo and Andy Hightower have in there ribs. Mark might be able to do one for better price than some of the commercial boat builders though. Good console, we even managed to get Rogue Wave in one, so must have lots of room inside.

it's not the same! very similar it has a more curved front and is a bit deeper

Simon B · 11 July 2008, 15:39

What? The console or Rogue himself?

Yes but you have to look at the fact that RW is actually pretty much the same shape as a Windsor Bros console so it would not be that difficult to fit him into one

Oi, are you saying Stu was the plug?

Now you know why the front of the console is curve outwards, the hatch wouldn't close until a size 10 was applied

Good console, should be room for a toilet if the deck is lowered.

Hi,

I notice that your tubes are the old type. I have a good set of new type 28 foot tubes if you are interested.
