Yesterday I planed the sideboards to final thickness. They look much better after all the squeeze out epoxy is removed from the edge glueing job required to get the needed heigth. The nose block and all the bulkheads are now fitted to the sideboard stringers and center mast step stringer. The seatback is close for final fit-up also. I'm still debating on how the fasten the seat back and I'll discuss that with Jack tomorrow.

Next is the fitting of the foam/ply. laminates to support the mast step and fitting and rough cutting of the bottom plywood panel. After that is completed it's preperation for the big glue up !

And yes I know winter is on the way, I winterized the powerboat Sunday.
