: Carl,

: You have the frame done already?

: Bill H.

Hi Bill - I made the inner walls of the cat hulls out of 1/2" marine ply with huge lightening holes, bulkheads from the same, but I haven't lightened them, and the chine stock is ready to go. Now I have to take it all apart and put it back together with epoxy, and need to coat the ply with epoxy too, then set the sheer and chine locations. I'm going to include a chine on the tunnel side of the hulls to give a camber there. Makes me a little nervous as this is my first essay into epoxy construction. You were right about weight - I'm afraid I'm going to be in the 50 pound range for this first boat.
