: Just a comment, I am not particularly proud of my finishing skills,
: comments welcome, but I expect the next one to look better.

Looks great! Almost makes me want to try that method on Peter's Sea Bee (...almost, he has plans to use the seam as part of the painted design on the deck). I showed Peter the first pic and he thought you'd made a plywood version and he was envious (I think I told you previously about Fishstalker being a plywood skin with internal stringers, no stations, making it a plywood skin on frame).

I'm assuming you put two screws on your bow and stern loops. Did you put the extra stitching on the webbing or did you buy it that way (If you put it on was there a reason other than ornamental)? When we built my boat we kept it clean so there aren't perimeter lines on it. Is your perimeter line rope or bungee? I'm putting a perimeter line on Peter's boat so I have to figure out how to do it (I doubt I will retrofit mine).
