Re: The Plytanic 2.0 - FS17 Build
Thanks guys. I tossed on the side panels. I lucked out a bit here because I turned the panels around, the edge that was off kinda canceled out. The sides don't fit to bad, I'll need to make some adjustments though. The boat is a lot bigger now, lol.

Loosen up your ties at the bow between the bottom and the side, you don't have much gap there. This will let the sides drop down a little and you can reduce the gap between the sides where there is a larger gap near the bottom.

I am sure there is a little fine tuning you can do but it looks good from here. After all the fight you have had I think you are just about ready to glass that puppy

Re: The Plytanic 2.0 - FS17 Build
The way it's stitched together is just to see how it lined up and if the sides needed to be cut back. I'm going to take it all apart again and do just a little fine tuning before I finalize it and start bonding everything. It's been a unusually long road to this point, but once over this humpage things will smooth out I think.

Re: The Plytanic 2.0 - FS17 Build
Spent a few days here and there trying to line up the panels a bit better. I've got gaps and some spots that bind a bit, but I decided it's good enough.
I bonded the transom in then I spot welded/epoxied the joints. I started removing zip ties and it began shifting a bit, so I went back and added some more spot welds.
