Chalk---Go to
http://www.thectp.com/ and check for trailers. From time to time there are very good buys. I was going to build a Tolman skiff but time does not allow a 3-400 hour project. I just refurbished the ole bass boat and now call it a flats boat. At lest it was quick and relatively inexpensive.

Not much has been done....I spent some time filling some air bubbles

....I had planned on having the bottom covered with glass this weekend, but it didn't come to be. I need to order some more supplies. Once the bottom gets covered it should go pretty quick.
I'm shooting for a fall finish, but I have a feeling it might be the spring before she is finished. It's a hurry up and wait hobby, throw in TBall, swimming, fishing and a second job and it tends to wait more

Given your age and your propensity for damage to near by objects from that famous windup of your's, I'm surprized they still let ya on the team

I tried knocking my foot off my boat last weekend like you, Sir Reel. But I didn't succeed, so I dropped it down to TBall figure I can hang with my competition

From the looks of it your gonna use a O/B bracket.

Oh wait you did not cut the transom at the beginning.

Looking good.
