A shell is typically the hull as taken from the jig so inner skin foam and outer skin
so what actually needs adding to finish off the build? is this things like false floor, space frame, supports etc or are these or elements of these included?
Basically you need to put all those things onto a bare shell which would look something like:
You could get whoever built the shell for you to do as much or as little as you wanted.
I recognise that from somewhere...looks fast, that one!
If a new guide is being put together then I can take a load of pictures of this build. We spent a good few hours on Tuesday just working out where the transom is going to be! The bow is very bluff at the moment so what in that picture is the current bow will actaully be a good 2" or so further back, and we will be making something a little sharper up front.
Rumour control...We drew out the transom piece last week and realised it did not fit...it had far too much curvature. Much head scratching ensued, had the shell sagged over time and this was going to be a new, flatter Slug?
Er, no. With all the design iterations of the original Slug back in 1997, they'd got a bit muddled on Simon's PC, so all of those CAD drawings (which we took the measurements off) are actually not a Slug, they are of a rounder Slug that never got built.
So we put the laptop and all it's offset dimensoins away, and proceeded to chop the back of the boat off and draw round it for the transom...far easier!
