Hay guys, If I am posting too many picture of the same old boat as I progress just say so and I will keep it down. Too much time on my hands. I finally got out of the little cramped room I have been working in, and out into the light so I can see to sand. It's been a long winter. The metal pieces holding the web straps you may recognize as ends to hold firewood from falling down. My epoxy and fiberglass is on the way and I hope to be doing that in a couple of weeks. The straight sides of the cockpit will be left that way and I will build the water tight storage areas straight down from there, that I believe will make this boat a safe self rescuing boat when flooded, by crawing into the cockpit from the side. I will try to demonstrate that with picture when I have that built in and ready for testing.
