: I'm almost finished too. 2-3 more weeks and it will get wet.

Hey Petter,

Nice looking boat! Got any more pics? It looks like you may have slightly more fin than I ended up with. I got a little carried away with the sanding. Is that an "L" that you're working on?

I'm hope to finish my hatch lips tonight. I layed them up last night and need to be out there right now popping them out for trimming and then permanent installation. But last check of the temp showed 100*F so I may wait a while longer.

Anyway, congrats on the almost completed yak. We'll be watching for the launch pics.

Happy Building.

Charles.
