"I need to install a bow thrus
"I need to install a bow thruster in this wooden boat. My only recent experience with wood has been loading it into my fireplace so I'm looking for a little help here. If God wanted boats to be made of wood he would have grown it on trees.
Anyway, the owner is a liveaboard and wants to get the boat back in the water as quickly as possible. The boat is real solid with a 2" hull. How long should I expect it to take to have this hull dry enough to laminate to it?
Once I get the hole cut I plan on using heatlamps and fans to speed up the drying process but I don't want to give the owner false hope as to how long it will take. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Rick
