Based on your build and review, I bought the plans for the Sabalo. I have the plans now, but since we had a recent addition to the family, I don't have the time to start it yet.

Craig

You won,t be dissapointed................follow Matts plans to the letter............I over built mine in some areas which added more weight

I'm back at work so paddling time is a bit limited ........but i plan to do some speed trials with GPS

I'll keep you informed

My proggress on the new boat is slow at the moment ..............to bloody hot.

Cheers Paul

Ventured out to my beer drinking table and noticed something had appeared again :shock: :shock:

After some thought I decided as the weather is still good I can drink outside and maybe encourage this growth on my table :P :lol: :lol:

It would seem Wadfish has a shorter cockpit than Sabalo

Mike its the 15-27 I tried to talk her into the 15-32 :roll:

But she said that due to her short arms she would prefer a narrower boat :shock:

After browsing the site I was intrigued by Aloha Dans mirage drive housing :idea:

I kinda thought this could be adapted to scuppers and decided to run with it :roll:

Image
scuppers laid up out of ply and shaped to hull

Image
Test fit

Image

Image
Glue up from bow

Image
View from stern

These are scuppers for cockpit... ones in footwell are a definite go'er smaller ones in seat area I will drill out only if needed......... blocking will always be there 8)

One of Brides design demands is a dry bum :roll: :lol:

As you can see shortened under seat stowage area so things can be reached.......Bride has short arms :shock: :lol:
