This is the first home built boat for me, built the strongback intending to build a different boat. Sure beats setting the forms on the floor!

Well, all the strips are ripped and all the scarfing is done. Keelson is on the forms and I'll be starting on the stem pieces tomorrow. I'll have something worth taking a picture of in a week or two.

You're right though, it's already coming together quickly. All the prep work couldn't have taken more than 8-10 hours, and it seems like it's just the fun stuff from this point on. Not to worry. Pictures will be posted at some point!

Thanks again.

: Those Walrus forms seem to have a long lifespan. The boats seem to come

: Just remember: building more than one MIGHT be an addiction, but it does not
