Thanks, Paul and Brian, for the responses to my questions. I appreciate the info and your opinions on the books. I just ordered Morris' and Cunningham's books from Amazon.

Paul, its never too late to pass on an idea or opinion on this board. Even if its not timely for the boat one may be working on at the time, it might be just what the doctor ordered for the next one. You know, once the bug bites . . well you can never have too many boats. (no mater what the wife says!)

And Brian, I agree. The more ideas and methods of building available, the better. And just think - Chip's looking into building an SOF too. After seeing some of the things he's built, if he buys all the books and mixes and matches some of the methods and madness, there's no telling what he'll come up with! Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Anyway, thanks to all for the input.

Happy Building.

Charles.
