With a bit of luck, no more walking across bottom battens soon.

Man, I did that until the. bitter. end.

You got room under the deck for one of these?

I think he's pretty set on the V8 out of that ski boat.

Have fun! Flip day is great for a party.

If you have the Boatbuilding with Plywood book it talks about the battens either notched or floating. As far as the side frames touching the planking it's not a problem as long as they are fair. They can touch the planking and be glued to it. You just don't want to put a bunch of screws into the fra...

Awesome! Enjoy!

Wow, that escalated quickly! Nice idea on the epoxy warmer.

Have fun! We all figured it (fairing) out so it can't be that hard.

It will probably take several small nib...

Probably slow me down a 1/2 a knot too.

I doubt it. It will self-polish over time. I really don't see the point of making the bottom perfect unless it's practice for the topsides. But you've already got experience there.

Congratulations, Matt! You are making this look way too easy.

You been catching anything? How's the performance?
