Re: Galley Box
Nice job Andrew. Maybe you could use the slide off door for alt purposes too. Silicone heat sheet attached as hot pot rest or thin cutting board attached to surface as cutting board? Keep publishing. The 16 footer dude has a good setup but it’s definitely a single berth arrangement. Would be cramped...

Re: Galley Box
Good to experiment Andrew. Perfect the design and you could market them ! I have my Aldi nesting cookware and washing up stuff in the tub depression under the port quarter berth and my single maxi and coffee/tea/Bonox etc in a plastic Tupperware style box in the v berth area. But you do have to muck...

Re: Where can I buy toerail
Champion job Ian. Proving investigator owners are not quitters 8-) Worth the effort. Toe rail IMHO is a most important safety feature. It makes moving around the boat much safer and sure footed. At heel or level . Black toerail adds 2k to the value of the boat I always say, particularly when matched...

Re: Today at Valentine
True Andrew. There were lots of Herons on the Lake in my younger years. I guess they are still around I just don’t notice. A bit like my ramblings on “built from scratch” control line aircraft. Currently you can get an “off the shelf” drone from Jaycar and be in the air three minutes after arriving ...

Re: USEFUL STUFFS
Tomorrow Aldi have their range of boating/fishing items coming up on their specials list. If you need rope they have PP anchor rope and dock lines. Note PP not PE which is 3 times the price at w2. You pays ya money ya takes ya chances. For an investigator it may be ok. For the W2 money you get 12mm ...

Re: Bunks or rollers
Very nice job mate. With launching I assume you will just lower the rear end as previously discussed.
I removed the duplicate pic with my mods menus . It all makes sense I won’t reorder the rest. Nice tutorial.

Re: Topping lift
I have done similar to what you said Christie, used TL to hold the boom up higher when rigging my shade shelter. My boat came with a dismountable shelter with poles mounted on hinges on the deck. It was ok but unable to be used under sail. Nowadays I tend to put the boom at the top of the mast track...

Re: Centreboard Removal
https://investigator563.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=255 Ian, the above, very old, thread has some stuff. Ian B mentioned my solution to leaks which is still working decades later. Top of a screw down plastic air tight food storage bottle from coles . You need the type that have big lids and flair out ...

Re: Check your thu-hulls
I have used white packing foam slabs and glued them together with spray can foam from the green shed Ian. Works ok. I filled the space created by the rear keel shape under the cockpit floor that way, as I kept loosing stuff in the hole. Also used the same technique to take up space in my bucket that...
