Building a new plug and mould for Navaho hull
« on: June 13, 2010, 01:19:56 pm »

I started building a new plug for the Apache deck moulding to manufacture the new Navaho design as ive had lots of interest in this design.Heres the new plug after waxing ready to start the new mould.This will enable me to offer two different decks ,the orriginal and the Navaho  ok2.

Hi Mart - very nice!  I hear you're turning them out by the .... many  ;)
Nice timing, what with the lack of service from certain (ex) suppliers!
Be nice to see some on the circuit.

any more pics of this great build.

The deck looks fantastic, but can we see it against the older type of deck for comparison ?

so basically the decks are just different in that one has 3 ribs down the centre and the other has a single rib ?

I would think the 3 rib i stronger ? giving the egg carton effect.

I see you also make the hulls from your own moulds.

Did you actually make a plug from another boat, or completely make the plug from scratch ?

yours do look very well made i must admit.
and very nice gel coat finnish on them too.

I cant see a problem then.
If someones already posted pics on a public place like the internet, and there is no copywrite stamp on them
anyone can copy and post them in refference to something other than the stickers themself.

Are these stickers  of such high security and importance that they are not to be shown ?
if so why were they ever taken and distributed in the first place. ?
Is the boat in question never going to be seen in public ? will it be kept secretly away from prying eyes etc.

And never mind who took the pics, what does the owner of the boat think, as its his boat and his stickers now.

There only pictures of toy boats, no need for people to be angry with each other over them.

Or are the stickers of bad quality or wrong type of graphics and eric dont want people to see they aint any good ?
If the stickers are good, then why dont the maker of them like the idea of free publicity and promotion ?

come on fella's its a new year  ...kiss and make up

Oooooh cardinal sin there Phill, calling them toy boats !  ;) All anyone needs to know is Martin makes fabulous hulls, nice sharp running edges, solidly built, run like they are on rails, a good price and he has taken the hard work out of the build by glassing in the stringers and transom plate. I'm chuffed to bits with my Navaho hull  O0 :-))

Ok so they aint toys
I had to write that as thats what the wife calls them when shes got the hump with me cluttering up the front room ha ha

And thos eboats do look very very good indeed, everyone who has one of his boats seems to be very very pleased with them.
Plus i have heard there is a few racers doing ok with them as well. (proof of good workmanship )

I have not seen any of martins hulls in the flesh so to speak, but i am told by some that they are better than expected.

Pics of the stages of his building them shows a very professional attack on making good honest boats that are built to last.

Anyone can build a boat, but not anyone can build a GOOD BOAT.

Thanks for the kind words you guys,i try to make nice hulls at good prices and ive never missed a delivery date nor had any complaints from a customer ever.I will build the hulls to fulfill the customers wishes too,im currently building one for running in the sea in the Greek islands and through long chats with him over the phone we decided that the whole hull would be built using glass cloth and carbon twill.I do what i can to give people what they want and have a few new hulls on the way this year,when i start work on my 70" hull ill post a complete build thread from start to finish.
