Boy you'd better make photos. I'm in a holding pattern. Had eye surgery two weeks ago and I can barely see the computer screen. I'm supposed to get it all back so I'm pretending to not be worried. But right now the table saw is a danger.
I want to finish my all Plascore decked 17 footer and then to build one more boat. Which would be all plywood, with no ribs. Big big ledge top gunwale so it keeps its shape even though it has no ribs. And so a deck can be bolted down onto a gasket at any time, so it could be open or decked, as tomorrow dictates.
No paint no varnish no glue. Caulk at the joints instead of glue so any and all parts can be removed and replaced at any time. Oil the shit out of it and row it that way too.
I'm not saying it's better. I just like new.
