Been doing some traveling and fishing with a man that can't sing a lick.....

But, I finally got some epoxy and fiberglass and got back on task....I spliced all the panels together...I need to build a strongback, cut out the last stringer and start assembling the hull....

There's boat parts in among the junk....

Once the hull is fiberglassed, majority of the bulkheads will have their centers removed leaving only a 2" piece of wood, opening the deck area up....

Chalk ,

Looking good, it's almost like a gheeno (SP), huh?
Are you gonna run a tiller motor or go all out like those guys that are putting consoles and polling platforms on them? :smt038
