Scarab 16 float part 1


The building frame longitudes and bulkheads for the floats (MDF and plywood) was cut out and assembled. The frame slots together and is self-aligning. The building frame bulkheads were rounded on the bilge panel which is different to the original boat which has chines. The side panel and the bottom panel were attached using gyprock screws.
Then the bilge panel was strip planked using laminated foam strips. Each was screwed to the building frame and glued to the one below. Then glass was laminated over the bilge and bottom panel.
The hull was taken off the building frame and glass was applied over the strip plank area.
