ML Boatworks Florida Flats center console fishing boat, from design, to plug, to mold

[cybercrxt]

Well, here is another off the wall design that I just couldn't say no to doing. Late last year, a friend of ours from church asked me if I would replicate her husbands boat. She wanted to give him a gift for his birthday, and she knows how much he loves his boat. Well, he has a florida flats boat, with 250xs Merc, that runs around 76mph..lol. While I am not going to say the brand, you will see the decals towards the end. It is a 20ft hull, and I did my best from online photos, some photos she was able to sneak of his boat, and a few measurements off of their website, to replicate the boat, and while I am not done, I have made a great amount of progress. What started life on the computer as a frame up design, then wood kit, then plug, then molds..we have the following. I still need to make a mold of the Poleing platform that goes over the motor at the back. I have the plug ready, just have not been in a mold making mood to do it yet. Anyways, here are some process, and progress pics. This boat will be available on the website soon as a hull, console, and poling platform kit. Enjoy the build, Mike

This was yesterday. I did up the graphics in CAD, and cut them out. I have more to make, but this was a good start.
