Who needs a kayak? Caulk those joints and throw that thing in the water, and you'll be good to go!

Paul,
I'm saying this with a smile on my face :D How many channels are you getting with all of those antennas? :D

Hairy Mick? :D

I'm a dye hard fisherman and I'm sure my yaks, will some day, be getting as many channels as you guys. :D

Good Looking Job!

Jeff

Hull looks a bit crusty.. but I didn't want to cleanup outside till last so epoxy would give the ply some protection

If with the "barnacles" growing on it, you can see it's a very true and square hull. Nice work!

Oh Wow!

Paul, That is one truly beautiful hull mate. As Matt said, Your lines are perfect! This is no small achievement and is smething I can only aspire to - one day. I haven't got there yet.

Bloody well done mate.

Long Story mate - don't ask :oops:
Regards,
Mick

Matt
I am considering hacking halfway down panel A and cockpit side in cockpit region to insert a dowel to form a lifting handle in apex of A and cockpit intersection if you know what I mean :?
this will happen above A.B chine intersection but will leave a cutout in the cockpit sheer of maybe 2-2 1/2" thinkig maybe 3/4 dowel in apex for handle
My gut feeling is there will be enough freeboard to achieve this.........................any thoughts?
Cheers........ little old wine drinker me
