Cut out some stringers today and the motorwell bulkhead, finally getting going, no pics yet but I'm going to get a weekend off this week so we'll see what I can get done. "kgrover" I'll give you a email when I get my jig set up with the stations. I havent set the jig up yet, figured I'd wait to get all my panels cut and long panels spliced, need the floor room. Thats all for now, I'll post more this weekend.

Steve, its going pretty slow right now. I just came back from a vacation in Nags Head/Hatteras, North Carolina. So far I've cut out transom, stringers, motorwell sides, and might get to layout some of the stations tonight?? I have a goal to have long panels spliced and on jig by fri the 17th, thats when I'm to be back at work. Everything is going well so far but havent even opened my epoxy yet, still cutting out ply, seems like as soon as I started on the boat everything around the house turned really hectic, anyway hope to get rockin on this thing this week.

Steve, I'm about ready to cut out the side and bottom panels. The way I stacked my plywood on the garage floor was 1/4 or 6mm on the bottom and the 3/8 or 9mm on top, so I went ahead and cut all my 3/8 parts and pieces. I should be able to cut and splice my bottom panels sometime in the comming week I hope. Still havent laminated my transom together, have it ready just need to do it, maybe tonight. Sounds like your off to a good start, I'll post a pic or two if I get to those bottom panels this week.

Transom glued tonight, went well I think. I dry fit the assembly, drilled holes for screws to make sure I got everything lined back up just right, took it apart epoxied and glued everything back together, then ran screws back thru holes. Looks ok, hope the rest of the boat goes together this good.
