New boat build

[Bill Verburg]

New boat
it's been a few years and her have been quite a few others but this one is special

114' built along the lines of a prohibition era Rumrunner

[Evans, Marv]

That's uber cool, Bill.

That's a huge boat! From the front back I believe it's berth's, galley, idk, and engines? What goes on the empty areas? Is this a pleasure yacht?

[HobieMarty]

That right there is awesome!!!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing, and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on it.

What size master cylinder are you going to have on it?


Is this a rebuild of the bones of an old boat or a build from scratch? I assume the former?

What's the third shot from the bottom of, the stern?

[rfuerst911sc]

That is a block sanding monster !!! She is a beauty.

[Scott Douglas]

What is the prime mover going to be?
Perkins turbo 6-cyl?

[VINMAN]

Beauty! Wanna follow this one!

I misspoke above, the big empty space ahead of the aft steering room is the engine room

twin 6 cyl turbo diesels
either
MTU

or

Deere


YTBD

but here's the engine mount stringers

[gregpark]

Fantastic! How many on the build team? and... if it's just you, how old are you? :^)

Okay, I'm going to thank all y'all in advance for allowing me to ask this. (I'm allowed because i know nothing about boats.)

Why is there an aft steering room? Is that where you drive the boat during a storm?

[onewhippedpuppy]

Awesome! What’s the full story with the build Bill? Are you commissioning this as a full custom, somewhat build to spec from an established builder, or are you full up DIY? I’m an avid boater and like watching people build their own boats on sites like the hull truth. As the owner of a piddly 30 ft boat I love to dream.

With a large vessel the rudder is powered by mechanisms (usually hydraulic) in the space where the rudder post comes into the hull. This equipment receives commands from the helm.

Thank you. That makes sense.
