Update: bottom, side panels, and stringers are cut out. Also got my strongback set up, level, and squared. Tomorrow hopefully I'll get all the frames finished and can start setting them on the jig and laminating my stringers together. Feels good to make a little progess after all the rain here

Putting all the panels together to make the hull shape is one of them most rewarding points of the build - post pictures when you have themFonda@kauai wrote:Update: bottom, side panels, and stringers are cut out.

One milestone reached- jig is done! This is from between frames "B" and "A" looking toward the transom. That's the tip of "B" that's visible. In order to get a shot of the whole thing I'll have to take the front panel off the tent, and it's rainy right now so that'll have to wait. Building in a tent is actually pretty easy so far except the mosquitos love it in there. And condensation isn't a problem because the airflow isn't bad in there. I only close the sides completely when it pours, so it stays real dry. I also took a shot of how nice the center lines line up on all the frames but the shots not that great The three frames between the motorwell bulk head and "C" look crappy because they're just throw away molds out of cheap ply and MDF. Probably gonna take tomorrow off as it's my 27th B-day but other than that movin along quicker than I thought. A lot of beauties getting built by you guys, I appreciate you setting the bar so high Edit: Thanx Aripeka Angler, links fixed

Here's a pretty good arguement for peel ply I think This is on the outside of the bottom panel so hopefully it will make fairing a little easier. It looks like there's a big ridge on the edge of the splice in the picture, but it's barely detectable to the touch. Easily faired out. I think I'll use the peel ply everywhere I can from here on out
