Finally finished all the superstructure limber holes in the aft hull section. No, it hasn't taken me this long to do the work -- I have a notebook full of completed home improvements to show for my time. But my thanks does go out to those of you who said, "The Astros will win a World Series before Paul gets back on this project." I couldn't be happier.
While I plodded through the limbers with my Xacto for fear of wrecking things with my Dremel, I have broken out the cutoff wheel and started opening up the propulsion nacelles and their hull access areas.
I've also started working on the stern planes and rudders.
The Nautilus Drydocks pump jet units fit perfectly in the tubes. I need to grind out the interior to clean up the access for the running gear.
Anyone have a drilling trick to line up the holes for the stern plane rod that runs through the boat from port to starboard?
