In Response To: Re: Skin-on-Frame: epoxy the plywood form edges or (Todd O)

: Thanks for the response Tom. On another note.......I'm building a
: Sea Cruiser and the frame spacing seems a bit off. When you list
: spacing in feet (example 7.6'). You do mean 7' and 7.2"
: right and not 7'6"? Also; any idea about how long the
: gunnels and chines should be past the end frames? I've never
: done an SOF boat before and cannot talk myself into hacking them
: off. I'm too afraid I'll cut them too short. I've gone home and
: just stared at it for 2 nights in a row now afraid to do
: anything:)......

The dimmensions on Tom's boats are in decimal feet or meters. Not feet and inches. So 7.6 feet is 7 ft. and (decimal)6 ft which is 7.2 inches. ( .6x12 )
