Re: DE 24ish
That brings us up to today, glued up the final pieces on the side panels should start to stitch thinks together this weekend.
Bought gel majic for the transom and the hull seams. Also got empty caulking tubes. Stringers were bonded with epoxy and wood flour.

Re: DE 24ish
I made a template
Start with a hole saw and jig saw make some lines sand it until your happy with the fit.
All you need to do is make one and then duplicate it using a ball bearing router bit.
* Make sure to mark centerlines on your templates. Watch the orientation of your pieces as you go.
When routing actual pieces I will remove most of the material with a jig saw first to within about an 1/8 “ then clean up with the router.
