Cracker Larry. How did you post the above pics? Wern't the pics from that particular thread lost?
Yes, all the pics in my GF16 and OD18 build galleries were deleted, but they are still on my computer
I just uploaded it again. I've still got them all if you need to see anything specific.
Seems my phone camera is too good to be compatible with the website software as the pics are distorted when reduced enough to fit the format. Any ideas?
Smart phones have a weird pic format, like the new flat screen TVs. It sounds like you have re-sized them to 640X480, which is causing the distortion. I use photoshop and I tell it to maintain proportions when I re-size. Always make the widest dimension 640 pixels, the narrow dimension ends up at 361 pixels, which maintains the proportions.
The pic above was taken with an older camera that used the traditional format. The pic below is from a DroidX, notice the difference in dimensions

That sounds about right, it would divide the space into 3 equal sections. Since a sole isn't specified for the GF16, you are sort of on your own. Check out T's GF12 thread for some sole ideas too.
Given that I will run cross members to the stringers port to starboard at 1' intervals. Will 1/4" sole material be sufficient?
I will cover with 6oz.
1 foot intervals would be closer than necessary, 2' would be plenty. I think 1/4 is a little thin but you need to keep the weight down. If you fill the area between the bottom and sole with 2 part foam it will add a lot of extra support and 1/4 might be OK.

But it's really flat, much better than the "Popping Cork". I did what Larry says to do, screwed the back of the hull down to the build table, not tight just snug, supported the bow (Transom
