Hiya
I finally got to try the half patterning method you do today Mike
it was only a rowing boat with a motor on but it worked like a charm.
took me about 10mins to make the pattern.
thumbs up Mike :-)

Glad it worked I generaly will o ly do a drawcord morring type cover I wodnt trust snap to be right.
Peppey is the half fast master ;)
worked a treat m8. very pleased.
I made a 3" skirt on mine and put about 5 grommets in
each side and used ball ties onto hooks in the hull to hold it
down. that sukka is going nowhere heheheh..
I have been thinking of asking Peppy to do one
of his tutorials on finding the center lines :-)
I wonder if he's listening ? ;D

Aw Mike, don't be chicken! You could do it! After today I think anything's possible. I just installed this behemoth...

I have to admit to being a little nervous about it, but it fit awesome. A trim on the back curtain for length.

Maybe I'll write something up on the weekend. But if it looks right with a line of tape down your marks it probably is right.
hehe I though so Dr Peppy ;D
Awsome job on the pontoon m8, how many hours
did you have invested in that ?
Rich

Right on Mike! You're old hat with the poontang boat! Nice to just need screens. The next big advancement up here will be double pane windows in boat tops.
Rich I had about 2 days. New bars at the front, reusing and tweeking the back frame, pattern, install. I'll ask about the cut/sew.
Nice work to both Mike and Peppy.
Here in western NY, we need the windows too!
Quoteof corse back up north we needed to stay warm
I'm currently working on a prototype submersible tiger torch to mount on the pontoons to get you out of the ice in the morning and back up to the dock when you get back.
If it works we can extend our season from early July to late August LOL.
used
to like watching
the little boats the first of April salmon fishing between the ice packs as the lake was breaking up
Darren. Some would vet stuck out till the ice blew the other way lol
whats a tiger torch ?
Rich
AWESOME work on the enclosures WOW what an inspiration YOU are, Thanks
