: Hey, folks. I've been seeing some conflicting info regarding when to cut out
: the cockpit on my Outer Island. I'm thinking it can be done either before

: not misunderstanding something, or if the before or after decision hinges
: on something else that I may not be comprehending.

: Thanks

Rick, I cut out the cockpit on my OI after I glassed the deck inside and out. I prefer doing it that way. If you are interested, I have some building pictures on my website. Follow the boat building link to the OI page.
