SK14 in TX

Progress update: I added the rub rail based on everyone's recommendations. I did this as my extra foam was being shipped. At the front of the boat, we cut the dados again to bend the rub rail around the curves. Here are some pictures.

Next up, the other compartments have been filled with foam and cut down to the level of the stringers. The cutting turned out to be more difficult than expected but it got done.

We also have got the deck fitted into the boat. I brought some plotter paper home from work to make a template, then used the jig saw to cut it down. After that, it was a combination of the planer, sander, and rasp to get the perfect fit.

Here are some pictures.

I am getting close to ordering paint, probably in the next day or so. I am planning to go with a navy blue on the sides with a white deck. Anyone have recommendations about how much paint I need? Planning to use the roll and tip method for painting

You have been busy doing some really good work. The foam and rubrail look very good. The deck fit is outstanding

It looks great! You are moving along quickly. I am about to glass my SK14. I'm just waiting on a few supplies that I ordered. Did you get your grab rail from Boat Builder Central?

[Jeff]

Yes she did Michael!!! Jeff

Yes she did Michael!!! Jeff

I really like the looks of it! I found a local aluminum shop that will make a custom rail for me, but I like the idea of ordering something that is tried and true. I also like that the rod holder will take a fly rod.

I use that same one from Bateau on my SK14 and it is rock solid.
