ML Boatworks RSX380 Outrigger! My first FE wood kit build...

[785boats]

Beautiful work.
A boat to be proud of.
So glad we don't have a winter down here in sunny Queensland.

Another sick build.

It is a fine job to say the least.

I'm just curious about the outobailer, does it actually keep ALL water out at rest?

Would it work on my 310? Not that it takes on water, (still not painted or rigged but in the process) but riggers don't have much buoyancy or flotation.

I have not floated it yet. But, when you blow thru it? Instant seal. So I would say yes, just setting the boat in the water, the pressure will seal it.

And my other thought went like this. I'll try it, if it don't work I'll put a removable plug in its place. Like on my UL19, it has a flange with a plug in it, about the same size hole thru the hull...

That's good.

I'll try it without first.

Thanks Mike. That would be fine by me if you put this on your website. Here's a couple of finished pictures, has the windshield details done. I think you can save these off the thread. Or I could email them to you, let me know. I don't have any pics of it in the water yet...

It floats, it planes and it turns!

It's still too early for the boating season to begin here, check out how I got a run in with ice still on the lake...

good maiden run.

good maiden run.

Thanks Steven. It was a bit of a sketchy situation. Safety first and the boat will get to run another day...

It would worry me with the ice out there.

Well done.
First runs are always a bit nervous. I remember that shaking feeling well.

Thanks. If it doesn't make your knees knock it's not worth doing...
