Re: A boat for Happydad's Enya
Yes I do. You can imagine that from a plan A4 size taken from a magazine, blowing up drawings for templates, transferring them to wood, then sawing or cutting the parts out can give some differences. And I measure a lot during glueing and fitting parts to check. I now have to sand or shape with a plane the stringers and then make paper templates for the ply skin.

Re: A boat for Happydad's Enya
Thanks Laura.
I went shopping at the DIY and bought a 5mm diameter steel rod and a brass tube with the same inner diameter. Also a package of long M6 nuts for the coupling and that fit the crankshaft thread. From ebay, I got a prop with an M5 inner thread.

The bottom planking is completely glued now and I trimmed the edges to make them flush with the stringers.
