Thread: My Kindsvater build

    I haven't really ever posted on this site before... but I do read quite a bit on the posts. I thought I would show some of the pictures of my 1972 Kindsvater Flat I have finally finished building. I started the build 3 years ago and tried my best to turn what I saw in my minds eye into reality. The pictures show what I started out with from the second time I broke in the motor. Just a little detail on what I have done... I had a friend do the glass work eliminating the metal trim so that I could have the hull painted. Ryan Netzly painted the boat and trailer for me, he came up with the idea for the wild paint job. I also had the engine built by a friend, twice, do to the first engine having a faulty cam. The second one seems to be working fine... just some tuning to do now. Otherwise, from the engine rigging to the to the steering was all done by me. The last picture shown is the day I broke in the engine for the second time... 15 minutes into the break-in I had a cop on my driveway with a noise complaint. Got to love next door neighbors... anyway he let me finish the break-in, so now it is off to lake in spring to do some testing. Oh, just for fun last night on New Years, I fired it up just for my neighbor at midnight.

    Looks great, I've have the same hull, lots of room inside(for a flat). Nice to see another one out there. Maybe me you and Kflat can start a Kinsvater club. Hope to see it out at the lake sometime.
