I started the Cracker Box about 4 to 5 months ago. I've talked to you several times. If you remember: Meranti plywood, rotary engine and last conversation was about fiberglassing.
Thanks a lot for your advice. Hope to talk to you soon...

Built a frame around the boat in order to cold-mold 16' mahogany planks to the hull (Tried stapling on the bottom but did not like it. Holes do not close even even after not water.)
Only God knows how much patience you have to have in order to do this... I disasswmble half of the frame for every plank in order to prepare (sand and clean) a place for the next one.
Five 16' planks have been installed.
