One place to be careful is when scarfing or butt joiinting the bottom panels or side panels: dont make 2 left sides! If scarfing not an issue but a butt block on the outside of the boat is going to get some looks.

Great looking work Joe!

Also, the volume of the hull is increased 33% (1.1^3) . So for the new larger boat to sit at the same waterline as designed the weight would need to be 33% more, not necessarily 10% more. Phil This is a mindbender. I like it! If you scaled up a photo of the boat that had an accurate waterline paint...

Crimony Trent, that is some crazy high-quality, professional looking work! Gold-plating not required! I can now attest to the fact that trying to keep the boat clean in places where the paint is not fair and very smooth is about impossible, so you're really going to appreciate that effort, will pay ...

Really impressive Cameron, you are super organized! Mask job and non skid look pro. Bolting stuff on is the instant gratification portion, enjoy!

I've been pleasantly surprised by the oyster white I used by total boat. I originally thought it was too beige but now I love it, if you're looking for off-white suggestions.

I'll also say that once I got it figured out, the grit that bbc sells makes great non skid.
