Yes, love the power planer. I suspect the transom on my LB22 is no better, but 10 years later there's no problem. These builds are really quite robust I think, and forgiving for us amateurs.

Re: Pedro's PG20
That last pic does look close and I'd surely keep trying. That last part at the bow might be tough and I wouldn't want to push to the point of hearing a crack! Still, I'd try a bit more, then, no problem, kerfing is easy and would make it behave very well.

Re: TX18 design
Here's a link to DaveTx's Tx18 build thread. Great boat--I went out in it once and it catches fish.

Re: Pedro's PG20
Agree with PeeWee, don't trim/cut things yet and get the sides up. They may tell a story. It's just gonna take some fiddling.

Re: RickW Ph18
I would lay some glass. 1/4" seems too much for fairing compound but would work with woodflour/resin mix. A little glass saves resin. Wait for others' ideas.

Re: Okume vs Merranti wood
Meranti wouldn't make the bow curves on the LB22. I had to aggressively kerf it but that's completely doable. I liked working with Okume more though and would lean that way probably. Sadly, $800 is a big piece of the budget for the build, but, still, every dollar counts. 'd definately use Okume on a...
