OK, but how much time do you have into this so far?
You are reusing the building forms after building a canvas version, right? Is the process of putting on the plywood sides taking about the same as adding the trestling (bridgework)? More? Less?
Are you going to add floorboards or put a seat on the lower, bottom of the boat?
And were are some pictures? Show us what ya got!
Keep going, sounds great so far!
