Lots of weight, tape and clamps on the bottom.
Checking that BH3 is perfectly square.
Bottom
Sand the bulkheads, rails and stringers so
that there are no bumps or other
irregularities that would prevent the bottom
from sitting flat.
Test fit the bottom assembly onto the frame.
Tip: Leave strips of masking tape in place
on the outside of the bottom. The tape will
help prevent the bottom seam from splitting
before you apply the fiberglass cloth later.
Be sure that the bottom fits well, and all slots
line up. Plan your clamping and weights
now.
When you are happy with the fit, use
Titebond or epoxy to glue the bottom in
place. Work quickly.
Clamp and weight as much as you can.
We use several batteries along with some 5
pound weights.
Don’t forget to snap in the transom brace.
Double check that all tabs are in slots, and
everything looks good.
When in doubt, add more weight.
Quickly check and adjust the angle of
bulkhead 3. It must be 100% square to the
sides.
Loosen the clamp and adjust until 90
degrees. Double check this.
This is critical on the turn fin side, as it will
cause the boat to run funny if not right.
Do the other side as well. Work quickly
before the glue dries.
