Nice start, Jim. Isn't it amazing how it starts to look like a boat almost right away. I find that to be very motivational.

Looking forward to following your build, that should be a great boat for around here.

Either would be fine. You'll be well within the curing time to achieve a chemical bond and blush won't be problem with the slow hardener.

Jim,

I was wondering where you got your plywood. I was unable to find any locally. Was hoping you did, or did you have it shipped? From where?

Thanks,

Ross
