the boat is comming to gether nicely. i have sanded and fixed the first three fill coats added two more to the top and bottoms. overlapping the fill on the seam tape so it has four fills. the footbraces are installed. and its 77 degrees with no clouds in sight for days. we even have flowers. i wanted to be on the water by christmas but it still a few days away after more sanding and varnish.
