Picklefork Notes

Building the Picklefork Pictorial

Outboard boat plans Fig. 25: The battens with the knees mounted, along with the center batten, are fastened to the planking with the INNER MOTORBOARD #22 resting on top of the battens, siding to the plywood and butting to the solid wood portion of the KNEE #20. .
Outboard boat plans Fig. 26: The COWL BATTENS #26 are directly above the outermost two BOTTOM BATTENS #19. They butt to the DASH BEAM #25, bear on top of these bottom battens at the bow, and butt to the BOW PIECE #26.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 27: The pre-assembled transom is slipped between the side planking to rest firmly on the bottom. Force securely against the inner motorboard. Liberal application of glue and solid bearing are important at this junction.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 28: The COAMINGS #29 are to extend beyond the transom for trimming to fit after fastening in place. The forward end must be angled to butt to the DASH BEAM #25. A considerable twist takes place in the COAMING #29 so use several clamps to hold the member in place while the fastenings are driven in.
