I like how you raised up the sheer line a few inches. Is that part of the plans, or did you do that yourself? Also, how does it look from the outside?

I am looking at the Honda 4 stroke 50hp for my skiff at 214 lbs it seemed light for a 4 stroke to me what would a two stroke weigh? FYI the 40hp Honda weighs in at 214 lbs as well and the 30hp is 155 lbs

Thanks Jeff!!

pfam your CS looks great thanks for sharing!! What plywood did you use?

Looking Good!

Well after the responses here and some additional research I have decided to go the Jobert Okoume plywood. In the end the cost will be about $400 more than my second choice and almost 140 lbs lighter I decided it was worth the extra money. I will be ordering it from marine-plywood.us they had what I...

Very nice!!

Well I cleaned the whole side of the boat and now it sands fine. Thanks for the tip Roberta I was hoping you where right. I used 13 gallons of epoxy up to this point and if I mixed them wrong I would be in BIG trouble. Thanks everyone for the tips, this is what makes this sight priceless. 13 gallon...

Welcome!

Regarding shop size I have found two things over the years: 1) It's never big enough 2) I always make it work I started with a workbench went to a single stall in the attached garage and currently have my 3 car free standing dream shop. Except now I want to build a boat and well its not big enough :...
