I can't believe it's been almost a month gone by, but I've got her all done and wet a couple times already. She handles well. Nice and stable. Should be good for fishing as I'd planned and hoped for. Two coats fo the Geocel sealed the skin no problem, but I added a third for extra insurance. I used about a half a gallon of the Geocel. 20ga. clear vinyl float bags - dirt cheap - like 5 bucks apiece. Gotta love that. I used manila for the deck lines for a natural look.
Now if I can just stay out of this one long enough to finish the Sea Bee...
