Corbin built his Pro Tunnel in Lakeville, MA, USA.
Here is the initial assembly of bulkheads and tunnel sides.
|
|
Adding stringers to the tunnel. The board across the bow is a temporary piece to keep the tips of the sponson sides properly spaced and aligned.
|
|
Framing up the sponsons.
|
|
Instead of completing the bottom, Corbin elected to turn her over and continue installing stringers.
|
|
Almost done.
|
|
Upside down again and starting to add plywood.
|
|
The coaming goes in.
|
|
And finally the deck, and some custom details.
"I am not a carpenter whatsoever," Corbin says. "I am an automotive tech by trade [but] with just basic carpentry tools I had no problem understanding and building this boat."
|
|
Some basic paint...
|
|
... and the details.
|
|
And finally out in the sunshine.
|
|
"I look forward for next winter to build either your new tunnel or a V Hull. Thanks again for such a great design."
|
|
"Just wanted to send a pic of my first run in the tunnel. AWESOME Boat!!!" -- Corbin
|
|
|
And a few more action shots.
|
|
|
|
Thanks, Corbin. Nice job on the boat. It really seems to fly.
