looks good! I also did mine with balsa and marine ply. I added a couple of bulkheads under the floor and huge knees at the back that tied down in the core. it was my first build and i over-did it a bit. but it worked well! |

Thanks guys! I'm no stranger the the rebuilds now and it seems like each time I do them they keep getting better, or at the very least I guess you could say they are becoming easier. I'm hoping that within the next 2 weeks the knees and bulkhead should all be done and glassed in, quickly going to flip the boat to buff and clean all the bottom since that can't be done when its on the trailer, and then its off to rigging it all - which at least I think is the fun part. |

Nice. Are you using Epoxy or Polyester Resin? |

Looking good! Did you use 1/2 5/8 for the floor, hard to tell but looks sturdy! |

I used the 1/2" Meranti - The 5/8" IMO would have been overkill, but it is definitely solid to say the least. |
