Looking good Kyle!. I like your clamping arrangement.

I am a few steps in front of you on my first stripper. Just lifted the deck off to plane and glass the underside. I am in South Florida and initially was frustrated by the WRC I found at HD. I started looking more carefully at true lumber yards and stayed away from the home improvement warehouses. You might be surprised as to what is out there. Start looking now for your next boat. I already have 6 - 1x6x8's for mine.

So far my best bets in the Fort Lauderdale area are 84 Lumber in Davie - (they let me hand pick as much as I want for no premium). Causeway Lumber off State Rd. 84 has thousands of feet of WRC but wants a premium to hand pick.
