[QUOTE="great white, post: 244246, member: 6238"] Thank you for the kind words. I guess it falls under "you are your own worst critic" because all I see are wavy cuts and corners that don't exactly match. Although it is reaching the point of what I have seen in my mind. Might have some bow shots later this evening. Things are changing as I lay the cooler, lifejacket storage, battery and anchor out in the space I have left. On the plus side; the battery and anchor are being pushed even further forward than planned. That should help to balance the boat out front to rear a bit better. Might even get to plane faster. Time will tell... I'm going to end up with more "hatches" than I had wanted so I'm also rethinking the supports. The supports are probably going to have to be heavier than originally planned as they deck won't tie them together as much as I had wanted. Instead of 1.5 deep x1 wide, they'll prob have to be at least 2 deep x 1.5 wide (I'm ripping 2x4's for stingers and we all know they're actually 1.5 after kiln drying). [/QUOTE]
