Today has gone as planned other than a few interruptions from salesmen. I pulled fillets on the strakes, put a second coat on the side/transom corner and washed the lower side panel and started filling it. After I used 90 grams of Quick Fair I emptied that container and opened a new bucket. I have to say that first kit went a lot further than I thought it would!

Today's report.

1. Side panel to transom. Filled and Sanded,second coat applied.
XXX 2. Fillet the strakes. Completed XXX
3. Fair the last side panel. Started, finish filling tomorrow!
4. Fair the transom again.
5. Mount castors
6. Wash and prep for primer

Started last side panel.

Tomorrow morning sand fillets while it's cool. The shop hit 86 degrees around 3:30 today and the rest of the week is supposed to be even hotter.
Then continue to fill the side.

Not a great day of boat building. I've felt like mud all day, just no energy. I managed to sand the fillets on the strakes.\
I found an air pocket in the process. It's been repaired but that it. I'm going home to rest.

Today.

1. Side panel to transom. Filled and Sanded,second coat applied.
2. Fair the last side panel. Continue tomorrow
3. Fair the transom again.
4. Mount castors
5. Wash and prep for primer

I'm try to get some work done but I had spend the morning at the doctors office.
I may have an ulcer, going for ultra sound tomorrow. Doc said it could be liver or gall bladder also.
I've spent the last five day days feeling like I've been kicked in the stomach.
I have most of the last side panel filled. I have a little bit left to go. Saving it for first light before ultra sound.

Reading your symptoms and the tests needed my thought was sounds a little bit preggers to me :lol:
Hope the Docs get you fixed up. I am really enjoying your build.
