Re: CLC eastport pram
check on that Chris! the Ducker.... so embarrassed LOL
The owner has the Pram manual, will have it in about a week
I joined CLC bulders's forum CpnSkully, "Mswdnboat" the center is the most important measurement.
Im thinking maple veneer "strips" to simulate T&H for the thwarts,and yes on the scuppers LOL GMTA

Re: CLC eastport pram
I posted over on CLC, but also thought I'd post the same here.
Okay, the forward bulkhead that established the mast step location is 15-1/8" aft of the leading edge of the forward transom.
The bulkhead beneath the center thwart that establishes the aft end of the daggerboard case is located 83 1-1/16" aft of the leading edge of the forward transom.
Hope this helps!

Re: CLC eastport pram
I guess your kit is old enough that they hadn't started using the tabs to locate the bulkheads.Comment

Re: CLC eastport pram
Oops, too much caffeine, the center thwart is 52-1/4" aft. The aft bulkhead is 83-11/16", not 83 1-1/16". The font spacing is a little weird. Sorry.Comment

CaptnScully 52.25" was magic number for the center bulkhead!
I'll need to saw the glue apart on some of the plank ends because I think the gaps are larger than they need to be... Which probably only makes a difference to somebody like me.
Guessing this is where is PO may have stumbled stalled because it's difficult to clamp angles for most people, it's just part of the job for boat builders.
Here's something stitch & glue builders may keep in mind
"Tie twice, glue once"

Re: CLC eastport pram
That's fine. You can always add colloidal silica or wood flour to thicken it. You can't "un-thicken" viscous epoxy.Comment

It's interesting, I've been using West products for like forever. The 207 special hardener actually makes their resin thinner for saturating cloth. I still have most of the products from when we were building strip canoes. And by habit over the years I save sanding dust. Cherry and mahogany sanding dust turn almost black, cedar sanding dust dark brown, West fairing filler tends (not for gluing) to stay tan in color. And of course Cabosil, is white and hard as stone.
Anyhow this boat came with slow hardener and I think it's going to "slow" me down lolDenise, Bristol PA, retired from HVAC business, & boat restoration and buildingComment

Re: CLC eastport pram
I’ve used MAS- it’s nice, easy to work with. But imagine you could use whatever you like. Nice boat- fun project!There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....Comment

Re: CLC eastport pram
I'm using MAS on my project now simply because CLC is nearby and I can pick it up from them without paying shipping. FWIW the resin viscocity is very similar to System 3 Silvertip which I was using previously.
Switched over from wintertime fast hardener to summertime slow a few days ago. My fillets were still plastic but stiffenning up when I checked them after a couple of hours.Comment
