Construction






Top: Measuring the side of my vessel
2nd: Final model of my vessel
Third: final rendered CAD drawing of my vessel
Bottom:The pieces for my vessel not yet put together; with the angle measurer

The wood slides into the grooves made so that the vessel is more watertight with less seams.

RC propellers
inside of RC boat; blue cooling tube on the left
motors, propellers, and battery out of boat
left: frame for bottom of vessel that I had to remake (right) because the wood was splitting through
spray painting frame for bottom of vessel in systems shop
vessel all put together and painted with glass bottom sitting in bottom
plexiglass bottom for vessel: I removed the protective sheet from just the perimeter so that the center of it would not get ruined
vessel with plexiglass attached to the bottom and the frame overtop of it and the caulked seems

 
The pieces fit into each other perfectly so that they are secure and stable.

    Please check BBS for detailed message via buoyancy/weight testing-both instructors have made numerous requests that you physically test vessel-so far you have not done so-calculations do not confirm that your vessel will be able to carry anticipated weight as that part of the project appears to be ongoing-successful completion of course coannot be attained without physical testing that is documented and observed, at this point, by your instructors-without testing and wihtout successful buoyancy you will have to reconstruct your project-cmcd
