PapaDave remember that tiller steering also limits your HP allowed to a 50HP motor per Jacques in the Study Plans. While I like tiller steering in smaller boats I am not sure it is appropriate in a 22' one. Your weight would off set the center of gravity and you would be sitting stern down, unless you had passengers sitting forward of it.

This is a long, narrow, light boat so weight distribution is important.

Well just some thoughts to think on.

The strongback is complete and ready for panels. I need to kerf the 3/8 inch bottom panels next, and then start stitching her together.

Don't let everyone talk you out of the tiller because they don't want it, or because it will limit you to a smaller engine due to weight. The Yamaha 70 weighs just 6 pounds more than the 50. A tiller eliminates the need for a console or side helm, which will free up a ton of space in the boat.

The beginning does look awesome! Nice work right there!

I think the tiller conversation is a good one to have and I appreciate the comments. There are plenty of reasons and opinions on both sides of the design issue and each carry validity. Keep the boat design conversation going! Stitching panels soon. :D

I cut kerfs into the 3/8th inch bottom panels half way through spaced every three inches and then made additional cuts 1.5 inches apart after trying it on the mold. The kerfing was certainly essential to get the plywood to conform to the mold. The panels are stitched and fairly close to the mold without any straps but it will need a bit more persuasion in the coming days.
