Todd is building his Pro Vee at his home in Lake Charles, LA.
In order to stretch the length 12", he added an extra bulkhead forward of the transom
|
|
|
Here the beveling of the keel is under way.
"Once I start working on it each day I can't seem to leave it," Todd says. "I've put a couple of 9 or more hour days into it and never even thought about stopping for a drink much less lunch."

The sinuous shape of the bottom comes to life.
|
|
|
"Then while at work chasing criminals (cop), I always have my construction notes close by to study. I feel like I'm ten all over again. LOL."
|
|
|
Turned over, and ready for the next phase of construction.
|
|
|
Lookin' sleak, and ready to run.

The deck is on and the front cowling in place.

A view from behind.

A little customizing to the coaming.
|
|
|
And now on to the paint.

|
|
"Next is to paint the cockpit and install the steering which is already built," Todd says.
|
|
|
Lookin' good in the sunshine.
Nice work, Todd.

A couple more photos, "borrowed" from Todd's post on Boat Racing Facts Forum.
"I will soon be hanging my motor," he says on the post, "a Yamaha 25 3 cylinder, and finishing the rigging."

He also says: "For those of you that have always wanted to build a boat, give Dillon a look. Great customer service with any questions and advice."
Many thanks for the kind words, Todd.
