I got to work first thing this morning,  finishing up the masting,  I then Installed the Bowsprit and Oar lock Blocks, Then the Toe Rail,  On this Toe Rail I decided to go against the Instruction Manual, and Install the  curve first,  working my way to the Bow then making the cut against the Bowsprit. It was alot easier to do it that way.  I was very pleased with the results I also added a comparison photo between the Kit and Keel # 1. Here are the Results

Today on Keel 1,I got started by doing all the small touch up work. I then decided to paint a blue water line on Keel 2 ( I could not get it to work on Keel 1 ) it worked out on this one. I then removed the deck over the fish wells to gain access to the bilge( I may float this one) Here are the results

Popeye had the lobster Twins... Now we have the Lobster triplets.

 

I really like the natural wood and blue water line of keel 2, it turned out great. The photo in post #162 with all three side by side is a great shot. I think many new builders could learn much from building multiples as you have. This is a such great project and a Wonderful choice of vessels for such a project. Keep the progress coming.

This Morning I thought about doing some detail to the cockpit of keel 2 . My Wife started calling it the "Blue Boat" a few days ago  its starting to catch on  (with me anyway)I wanted to add detail under the cockpit floor as well as enclosing the bench seats, after that I went for the fish wells . on Keel 1 I did get the railings stained and made a temp boom rest. Here are the Results

Pete,

I, too,am in awe of your work. But I'm getting a little confused. In your posting #129 there are 3 lobster smacks in the picture, but I thought the scratch built boat was hull #3 and it looks like it's really boat #4?

 

BTW, if I had to choose, I'd go for the boat with the brightwork hull and white boot topping. I really like the colors.

 

Tom

Hi Tom, There is a kit build along with Keel #1 & #2 on this Build log (Keel 2 was built to get the planking correct and is not an official build) Keel 2 is so that I can try out things and see how they work out. ( and if they do I share them )

 

Best Regards,

Pete

After yestedays Planking Marathon on Keel 3 ( Scratch  built Build Log) I decided to have a little fun with Keel 2 (The Blue Boat), I made a Door for the bulkhead in the Cabin, Painted the Bulkhead a Flat White, as well as the cockpit seat benches . I made a Grating for the cockpit floor wich will still need to be stained, (and will be able to be lifted out as to gain access to the Bilge)some molding for the Fish wells and a Tiller. On Keel 1 I had to make new Blocks for the Rigging ( I accidently threw them away) Here are the results

I have not got around Rigging Keel 1 yet, Primarily because I am having fun working on Keel 2 , This is one of those builds that just goes smooth  , so I painted the deck , did a two tone stain on the grate and installed the Cockpit/ Cabin Coaming. Here are the results
