Well, after gleaning loads of info from all of you, I've finally put down the pencil and commenced to actually building! Over the weekend, I cut, wedged, and aligned the 15 forms for 'TUBULATOR IV' (i.e. rev 4) an 8'-9" surf/playboat that owes most of its heritage to everyone here.

Thanks especially to Nick for this great Bulletin Board, and to George Burns, Pete Rudie, and Paul Jacobson for turning on the light bulb.
