I have almost completed the boat I have named the Tuxedo and along the way I have learned some great new methods of strip building, glassing and finishing. I swear my work gets better and more difficult with each boat I make. Now I just have to finish before the boat show this weekend.

I am still working on my seat and padding and I have to rework the bulkheads because I was attempting to use some thin plywood that broke while shaping. I planned on glassing for strength but never made it that far. Not sure what I will use at this point but the rear bulkhead must be strong enough to be used as back support for my seat backrest. I do not want all the straps and buckles so I will shim the backrest to be supported by the bulkhead. I think I will use minicel foam for the front bulkhead.

Here are pics of my latest.
Thanks to Joe for the plans, can not wait to see how this boat paddles.
