Taking deep breathes yet? Drilling the holes is nerve racking.

It is man, my nerves are fried.

Wow, beautiful templates!

Thanks, they took a bit of time to make but seeings how this is my first try at building a boat I think this way has the least margin for error.

I'll keep the pics coming.

Finally grew a set and drilled the holes for the drives, was a lot trickier than I thought. I ended up honing the holes to size by hand to get the pefict fit.

Hi all,

Any tips/advice on how to line up my drives perfectly straight?

Thanks.

I was using long straight edge pressed up against the inside of the sponson and took measurements at two points on the drive tube.
