Ozzy,

Don't feel bad. I suspect my standards for finishing are not as stringent as yours and Greg's! Having read your blog, I know you spent a lot more time on it that I did.

cheers

Hey Ozzy, good to hear from you. I have all the stringers installed and 2 of the 6 frames. The forward bulkhead is also installed. This weekend I hope to get the rest of the frames in and start planing the install of the sole. I ordered my windows from Wynne enterprises, bought an armstrong bracket off ebay, and put a deposit on a 115 hp yamaha 4-stroke. Things are moving along well. I have been on travel a lot lately and have not had a chance to check out your blog. How are things going with you?

Cheers

Bill

Still in sanding and fairing hell. We're getting a little closer each week. I'm hoping that we can paint within the next month or so, but Greg's a perfectionist and it's his baby, so we go at his pace. I can't wait for the flip, because I know that once that's done, we will have several sessions where we can have visual progress each time.

ya, you will be able to make good progress once you get on the inside, because whaterver is under the sole doesn't have to look good! I found that and I did not even spend as much time as you in fairing hell (it felt like hell anyway) Good luck and looking forward to seeing the pics of your boat right side up!

cheers

Pictures... we need pictures. By "we," I mean Greg and I... we want some inspiration.

Looking good. Keep the pics coming. I'd love to see a shot of the rear transom and the whole boat.
