Quick update - I have all the supplies needed to finish the hull . I didn't get my fabric until today, I was actually mad at DHL for not bringing it Friday, like it was scheduled...Funny how things happen when they are suppose to...I realized I need to do some more filling and filleting in some areas and I had a few holes to fill.
I laminated in a 9" clamping board on the transom to get my 1.5â€

Two hours worth of slinging epoxy and chasing runs. (For both sides that is )
I normally prefer to lay out fiberglass wet, but it tends to be messy. The insides of the boat extend outward and down. Taping it dry and wetting in place has by far produced some of the cleanest and nicest laminations for me to date.

Shaved the bow down today and chased down "boogers" aka globs of fiberglass and epoxy....I have been dry fitting the bulkheads and thinking of how I want to do things i.e. front hatch, rod tubes, drain's, power and such....I also baked a cake with my wife and put some barn yard pimps on the grill...Not a bad day at the ranch

It won't be ready next weekend TC, unless you can start me a fan club with paying members
I think a power pole would be a bit much....I'm thinking Stiffy though
