Thanks sevanseriesta.

Looking great.... How many cubic feet are you trying to fill? In total not just whats left.
I have 16 cf in it now and I have another 8 cf kit coming. I will use all 24 and see what room I have left. :joyous:

Looks great! That's going to be one very buoyant boat.

Dood, aren't you done with this thing yet? I wish I was done, but then I told the wife when it's done I'll have to get another project because it's been fun so far!!! The heck with boating! Lets build something or learn something new. She was silent!!! :eek:

Man, if it were a alum boat you'd have been flyen around the Bay by now!:boxing: True, True!

If I can arrive anywhere near the quality of your builds I will be in good shape!!! :hail:

This morning I finished the first layer of csm and the tabing.


little bubble in the corner not going to grind it out because I don't want to cause more harm than good!

Yesterday afternoon 1 full layer of 1708 :eek:




wetted out 6 yards 1708. My original idea was to finish with a layer of csm, but I will wait until all the seat boxes and other items are installed. Then finish it off with csm. At this point I'd say the transom, deck and stringers are done. Now the fun stuff can begin. :joyous:
