Looking great Bill. My Return deck is slowly getting completed.

Hull is glassed already on the outside. Where did you locate your recess relative to the stations with the tops flat/cut off? I can't find a dimension anywhere and havent called Joe yet?

Thanks.

: After setting myself back (again!), I finally got X covered with dacron. I
: attempted to color it at one point and had to remove the deck and start
: over :( It really was awful! I'm getting close and hope to splash this
: thing soon! Also tried a Vaclav coaming as shown below (Thanks Ross).
: Don't know if I did it right. I ordered the One Ocean manual, but it
: hadn't arrived before I needed to get going, so I studied Ross's and
: Spidey's pages to give it a try. Looks good so far. A bit unusual for a
: skin boat, but this is a test platform for me and I would like to use the
: Vaclav on my stripper versions. Let's see, at the rate I'm going, that may
: be sometime in 2004 ....
