Maybe next year

...Anyone willing to donate a trailer, Honda 20 hp tiller (long shaft), a couple gallons of epoxy, 12 yards of 1200 biaxial fabric, a 6 gallon fuel tank, two optima D34's, 35 foot of rub rail, 30 foot of 1x1 clear pine, a gallon or two of paint and high build primer, assorted sand paper, some sanding time, a bow eye, navigation lights, a bilge pump, assorted electrical supplies and two sheets of composite foam panels....Hell, I probably need a few more things, but that would get me in the short rows any how

I must have touched a nerve with the day count.

Sorry Chalk.

Opened up the center bulkheads today w/ integrated rod holders. Bulkhead pictured started the day at 8.12 lbs and finished the day at 2.07 lbs. I need to do some more sanding and cover with a layer of glass before installing. Rod holders will be lined with carpet once installed.

Once installed the boat can easily accomodate 8 rods and a maximum of 12 (6 forward and 6 rear)

To Be Continued...

Bulkheads 1 & 2 and associated stringers are glassed in...glassing the front bow stringers and bulkheads proved to be difficult but doable task...alot of angles to work resin, fillets and fiberglass tape in...I hope to be done with the frame work in a week...then some rigging, then flooring and paint.

She's getting close

14 boxes done (stringer & bulkhead connections make a box)...only 10 more to do

...I took my like an hour a box...seems long but when you prime, fillet, cut glass, lay glass and then wet out the lamination it can take awhile

6 oz of epoxy, 15 scoops of blended fill and 3 scoops of cabosil will fillet a box and a half

Getting close
