Hull is almost ready for clear. Cowl should be ready by by next weekend and cleared. Should be ready to run it on Memorial day weekend.

Ok some pictures of the progress

[JimClark]

mine is glassed down the center section and with the frames it is very solid and I did not worry about the +\- 45*

[j.m.]

Guys, make sure if you do glass the hull that the fibers are running at +\- 45* to the centerline of the boat. This is for torsional stiffness. I'm sure the plywood ribs add plenty of longitudinal stiffness, but you don't want your transom twisting in a hard turn.

2 layers of 1.5 oz glass with e appropriate amount of epoxy would only add at most 2 ounces to the hull, probably less.
