JEM Watercraft

Just about done. Should have them published next weekend or sooner. Anyone a good proofreader? Been working on these instruction so much, I have them memorized and could be missing obvious mistakes. Would prefer someone who is going to buy the plans.

I'm willing to do it. As you know, I AM going to purchase the plans. I'm willing to pay before proofing too! If you want, I can proof it from CAD (AutoCAD) or PDF. If I do it from the PDF I will do it by hand, rescan the print out, and email the Correction PDF back to you. If by CAD, I will proof it in CAD and send it back as CAD. I use ACAD 2008. As a matter of fact if you need any ACAD assistance I'm cool with that too. I use Microstation more often but my ACAD skills are way above average.

just the assembly instructions. I'll PM you when ready for review.

Well it's really close to being ready.

Ran the numbers and building with 4mm and 4-ounce cloth, should come in at 50lbs-55lbs or so using 4mm Okoume. And that's a realistic number that an average builder could achieve. I compared mine to a couple others and got a little concerned my estimates were higher in weight.

But looking at it more, mine is a bigger overall hull, will be more stable, and could hold up to 400 pounds on board (although 350 is probably a better choice) .

Learned a couple new tricks that will help in future SOT designs.

Woo Hooo!!
Nice one Matt.
My order will be coming through later today

OK, I have the plans. I WAS going to hold off on building it until after we move though. My wife and I are in the market for a new house. The move is still at least a whole 1 1/2 months away. I figure that maybe I should go ahead and sneak this one in. I'll have to build it cheaply so I might use el-cheapo Home depo luan. The wife would be pissed if I spend a lot of money building this right now. Has anyone else started? Matt, I saw that you changed the epoxy requirments too. That helps. lol

I've got the plans too Yohan.........And I'm itching to start but am still working on a Laker at the moment.
Hoping to make a start in the next month or so. Good luck with the build

Any build pictures? Is the bottom hull panel flat or with a little V?

It's a flat bottom.

One being build here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3162

I have an idea for a different style but it's on the back burner right now.
