Re: C17 - questions pre-build

Congratulations on commencement of the journey! Good answers to your questions. All that I have to add is that I added 6mm strips between the back edge of the upper panels and the transom which filled the gap without using as much epoxy. After all is said and almost done, I have thought on a number ...
