    Hi, we used a piper 270 cam, ran a 270 in a 1275 and it ran quite smooth but it's lumpier in the 998 which is pretty much what I expected, good fun to drive pulls well from around 2500 rpm right through to around 6000 were it peaked on the Dyno. Cheers Marty

    The sailing boat is called an extrovert 22, designed by a guy called Julian Everitt. Made back in the early 1980's near Blyth, North East England. A company that also made gang walks into cruise ships I think and then survival vessels also out of ally. The construction involves a 2inch tubular space frame with plates butt welded to the tubes to create chines. I think they used 2 welders running on opposite sides simultaneously to stop distortion..that's what I was told. Using some kind of roller attachment to space off the mig torch. Your boat at 6mm will be basically bullet proof. Even if you foundered it. No sparks either so gas safe. 😊. Fair winds.

  • @martysprojects
    @martysprojects3 ай бұрын

    that sounds like quite a clever way of building back in the 80's, it's a lot easier now with cad design and cnc cutting techniques takes all the guess work out, there's a few really good alloy sailing builds on you tube if you haven't already seen them. I guess your boat would be fairly light. Cheers Marty

    I've seen one or two recent ally boat builds. Lots now turning to ally. Even Delos which is a big boating channel and distant shores. The tubular method seems super strong and means no stress on welded joints..down side seems to be you can't get to back of the weld to run a second pass to make it water tight so easy when replacing panels.

    Nice repair pal, I had a spell making exhaust systems, mass-produced for anything from trucks to ferries, I know what you mean about tight... usually when the baffles are in... they're in. The outta skin would be rolled and then held in place on a machine Larger ones would have a bead down the seam using submerged ark welding and ending up with your tube or barrel, .the baffles (sub assembled) would be on another part of the machine, you would hit the floor peddle and the baffles would be push fitted in. The outer skin would stretch as they went in.

    Hi Marty, looking really good. I've been looking between the HMD, DIYNO and CNC kits. The HMD claim they give you all the plate you need for full fit out, but I'm seeing you having to fab slot of what I'd say are critical parts like switch mounting boards, inside helm mounting sheets, wire guides etc. Did you expect that or was that a surprise? Did it all match up with guide marks pretty well? Cheers mate. Good vids and looking forward to the finished project, fit out is the fun part.

  • @martysprojects
    @martysprojects7 ай бұрын

    Hi, yes all the plate comes with HMD kit including fuel tank with plenty of ally left over for for any extra bits you want to add, but no extrusions, so you have to purchase handrails, tube for rod holders and curved gunwale edge detail, so there will be some extra costs, can't say for sure but I think all the kits are like that, HMD can supply all the parts at extra cost or you can get them at Ullrich Aluminium, every kit boat is in some way individual in it's build which makes it your own, so you can have different layouts for lights, switches, pumps etc so you can build them to your particular needs, this is why I have added extra plates for fuse boxes etc, I didn't need to that's the flexibility of building your own. I did look at other Kits that were cheaper but the HMD kit was the best looking in my opinion and good after sales technical help, can't tell you about the other company's but the kit goes together very well, it has a thicker hull than the others which is 6mm, you have to trust the process take your time think about the assembly and make sure all the lines fit up and check measure everything, all the panels have lines on them were they marry up and they do marry up well, all the panels also have fold lines with degrees of fold on them, so you will have to pay to get the panels folded. glad you liked the video's, hopefully post some more videos soon been busy on other projects lately. check out purekraft reviews on youtube which is they're sister company that builds finished boats they are pretty awesome. if you want any more info please don't hesitate to ask. you could also talk to Jarrod at HMD about the kits and pricing.
