: Cool, have the individual hulls off the building form and they stayed nice
: and straight :)

: Basic weight without connecting structure and no cover is approx. 16 lbs.
: each, ie: pretty light for an 18' long hull, even though they are only
: 7" wide, they are 16" deep.

: This boat might actually come in under the design weight of 45 lbs. total :)

Got some more pictures taken, this weekend I'll get them posted for sure. Boat is now upright on the strongback fitting the pod that you sit in (on?). Going to have to make a test cockpit tomorrow (strongback isn't strong enough for my weight) to insure that one can actually sit in (on) this odd thing before I start gluing all the seat parts to the hulls.
