I am glad you're using wood, in 30 years when I send you off in a viking funeral, the wood burns great and consistant that coosa ****e smells funny and gives off funky colored smoke plus you need permits for toxic waste a real pita .
progress looks good let me know when you need a hand drinking beer and eating pizza.
this boat was advertised as 70 mph boat in 66 with the power and abuse, it needed to be built stronger than a normal classic hence the coring. If any of you have had the deck off an early 16 or 18 they are real flexible. some of the early 16 with a very light hull layup had issues with newer bigger power that came a long a few years down the road. the bottoms could not hack it. the layup got stronger as they went along.

You might stick around longer than you think.
But, on the other hand, if present circumstances change, I got dibs on the Pumpkin!

I agree, the work looks excellant.......is it the type of poly used that gives the stringers
that greenish look?..........It's so great to watch a rare boat taken down to the shell &
built back up correctly..................wish stuff like this was on "How it's made"

The cuts of the wood and cloth are perfect. Its a bitch to get the cloth cut right to fit the curves without buckleing and getting a nice tight fit...That is alot of work for any one man. For what it is worth , im using all polyester resin too. Keep up the good work!:yes:
