My 24' Launch

Momentous Saturday; we flipped the hull. No pictures since hull-flipping is right up there with sausage-making and making whoopee - better not to be seen. An old box spring with mattress provided the needed port-side cushioning. I was pleased that the topside paint did not so much as scuff.

She's on her keelblocks now with the molds out. I have to support the rest of the hull and then interior work will begin in earnest.

I like this sleeves.

Do you plan to run rings in the pump? What material?

Rainer:

We'll machine the piston with the traditional water grooves to provide the seal.
