You got it!

Been quiet out of Richmond lately, are you making mad, secret progress and planning a bombshell update?
Haha! Unfortunately, no. Piddling here and there prepping for gas tanks. Some home projects happening too. But it’s all good. Still lurking and inspired by everyone else’s progress.

Merry Christmas to you and your Crew up north from VA!

Also with you and yours, Dan thanks!

I'm getting slowly framed. Still mostly dryfitting, killing time while epoxy cures to sandable, then will to paint the underdecks.

Looks like a fun part of the project!

Can you feel a considerable amount of added rigidity as you add framing? Looks like the does a lot to stiffen up the topside.

It is fun! Finally a few hours in a row without gloves on!

It's already super stiff due to the bow-to-stern sole and the rub rail, but I suspect the framing will add yet more stiffness once glued up.
