Thanks Casey. My Mother suddenly ended up in the hospital with what has turned out to be 2 brain tumors so visiting her and spending time playing cards etc. has trumped boat progress over the last month. This should all settle down as soon as she can get a slot for surgery.

I hope to start the deck mold in the next couple weeks and once that is sanded/sealed/one huge layup or two done then I can start the hull. I'll have some good pictures once there is something to post other than flat panels...

In the mean time I am skulking away building vicariously through the other posts! It is really cool to see all the different projects on the go.

It's cold up here right now...can't wait to see the gas bill for that heater running all the time in the garage! When my wife asks I refer to this as 'the cost of production'

Cheers, and Merry Christmas !!

Casey, Tom, thanks for the kind words and prayers.

Mom has moved on now, but she is definitely in Heaven. She will be missed to say the least.

I’ll point out and shift the focus a but by telling you she was the one that went “halfers" on that new Evinrude 115 a couple years ago as she knew I would pull her grandchildren on tubes all day, just like she did when I was a kid. She also knew she would enjoy rides, then, of course, there is my fishing problem…. so it's time to get the PH18 going again.

Stand by for pix...

"Joists" leveled out, 3?4" MDF surface is on and level, cutting down a rough outward bow contour so we can get around it in the garage!
