You know, Jacques, the PK78 has too much rocker to make a good planter. Maybe you could design a new PLNT-78 with less rocker and flatter deadrise to make a better elevated flower bed...

We do not need a separate tutorials for each boat. A putty fillet and a fiberglass seams is made the same way on a D4 or DE23. Only the number of layers and type of glass changes.
What is different is the assembly method and we cover that in each set of building notes.
