That's familiar looking! Nice work

Yea - its weird how they are..

Nice work!!

I would not use 4200 if you ever want it to come off.. It says its not as sticky as 5200 - big fat lie.. The stuff you are supposed to use is called bedding compound. Dolphinite is the old timey brand.. Interlux makes some too. Most deck hardware where you don't want water getting it is done this wa...

I had missed this it seems - wow! Nice work sir.. that's a lot of hours.. again .. this part of the build is so fun.. one.. visual progress.. two.. ability to demonstrate progress. 12 hours of sanding and finishing means nothing to the casual observer.. (really? looks the same as last time I saw it....

I outsourced 2 things.. The cutwater and the upholstery.. (The cutwater guy was driving distance at the time)
Cool that you are doing it!
Let see a few pics of that work in progress.

Looking good! I liked this part where things started happening faster...

Looking good!!

You expert you!

just to be clear - I did quite a bit before curling up under my bow for an afternoon..
But there is little getting around it.. Time will be spent in cramped places

ahh the fun of crawling around inside the boat with no place to go

I clearly remember curling into a ball behind my dashboard for a day as I got all of the wiring in place..
and I tend to hit my head a lot..

Looking good!

Agreed - laminate and scarf - stronger and more stable.. with the benefit of less cost.

Looking good -
I remember it going much faster after completing the finish work
(not my favorite part at all)
Great milestone!

I'm sure you've seen this - use a circle jig to do it. These make large circles pretty easily - and you can make this out of scrap https://bperkins.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_4901.jpg?w=736 Then cut the outer hole - I was afraid of a slip - so I left tabs and made the final cut by hand. https:/...

Congrats!
It felt like It took years when I did mine.. Huge milestone for such a simple statement

I looked at the picture of the boat..
The bottom is relatively flat - however - there is twist..
Twisting 1/2" plywood is going to be a pain... its going to put up a fight.. pulling on frames, etc as you get it into position..
just a thought.
