Got some more done on her today.
Bottom sanded and wet down then resanded.


Flipped it back over and installed the bulk heads.



I think it is going to be a good contrast.

I've got a funny feeling that is going to turn out to be 1 fantastic looking boat.

Ron... you are retired right? I sacrifice time with my family, friends and neglect my home maintenance and yard maintenance and still can't keep up with you. Good work.

[tx river rat]

Started working on parts for the combing cut and glued them.



Started glassing the bottom of the decks.



This afternoon Darrel came by and gave his approval,ask him how heavy it is Pogo.
Ron
Crk yea I am retired are tired ,

[tx river rat]

Made a little progress today, got the decks put on and filets run around them





Then I stripped the area each side of the cockpit.



Sanded that down and then started building my coaming



It sure did change the looks when I finished stripping the decks.
Ron
