Steel hull construction

[garryc]

Hi There.

I am almost at the end of the hull construction phase of a Roberts 370 Radius Chine. Been going 5 years part time and now full time to get it finished. If you can get an almost completed hull for a good price it will save you a great deal of time and a lot of hard work. That said I wouldn't trade my hull for love nor money, it's such a personal thing and experience.

Anyway, I have done the entire construction from Roberts plans. The only thing I have outsourced so far is getting the radius plates rolled at a local truck repair shop, they had huge hydraulic pyramid rollers that did the eight plates in no time. If I can offer any advice or support feel free to get in touch, am only too happy to assist where I can.

Be prepared for a lot of hard work and frustration, but also be prepared for the many times you will stand back and feel great about what you have achieved that day or week etc. Whatever you decide my only real advice is "just keep going".

Cheers.
