Boat Builder Central

Hey, Hope everyone is well with all this COVID craziness! The best part about quarantine is I get more time to sand!!! LOL! I'm almost to the point of flipping my CS25 and looking for ideas/Suggestions for a cradle to support it. Need to keep it low as possible. All comments welcome and thanks in ad...

Looking good!!

Hey guys, Have a few questions about strakes for a CS25. 1-Can these be made out of Mahogany and sealed with resin before attaching to the hull (Hull will be faired with epoxy and glass beads)? 2-Do Strakes have to be glassed to the hull after they are glued? 3-Whats the best way to hold the strakes...
