Re: Building a Big Engine

I'm happy to see it's still moving forward. That's an impressive undertaking! What are the plans for it once completed? Boiler? Hull?

Inquiring minds want to know :D

Re: Lagging....

I do like the looks of rope lagging though. Ya did a swell job Bart. Is there a particular grade of Tite Bond you used?

Re: boat trailer question

Didn't Will Weidner(sp?) place the bow low and stern high on the trailer with his launch 'Equinox'? I think the thought was the boat would be nearly level in the water when she touched, needing less of the tow vehicle near (in) the water.

Re: Lagging....

Great points about the necessary durability. That had certainly slipped my mind.

Another product is plaster-impregnated casting cloth for setting bone fractures. Messy stuff, and perhaps not the pinnacle if durability, but does the trick in many cases. Slathered with appropriate paint of course.
