: I was out there Putz'in with my walrus project tonight. I set the keel in
: place, and added some rocker. I didnt like the way the flat looked, and I
: want more manuverability than I think Mike mentioned on his plywood boat.
: I added about 1" of rocker at the stern, and a little less than that
: at the bow. Besides, it goes better with the curves at the stems.

: I think it would be easier to strip this boat than it would to fit plywood
: panels. I'd do the side strip at the chine first, and bevel it to the
: bottom contour. Then do the bottom chine strip and attach it to the side.
: That will give a sturdy edge to strip the bottom in from the chines to the
: keel, without adding more stations. If I next bevel the keel strip, and
: then fill in the bottom, I wont even need cove and bead; it's all flat!
: Then I can set the sheer wherever I want it, and strip the sides any which
: way. I smell a pattern?

Playing around with building, sounds nice. Me I was sitting in a classroom looking at Cathlamet Bay - Piss Flat, Greasy Slick,
