For Newbies - Last of the Hull Construction

Hi fellow Newbies;

My hull is now done, ready for glassing. I could not believe the power of the Random Orbital Sander! I've used the old DA air sanders on cars in the past, but was really surprised at the controlled, rapid material removal of the modern AC operated ROS! It is a modern marvel to say the least! My Ryobi 5" ROS set me back $39 at Home Depot, and it is very well worth the price. Anyone wanna buy my other "power hand sanders" that I've collected over the years?

One small request - Please do not email me, your question and my response would better serve all of us if you queried on the board. Less work for ALL of us. Hey, I'm actually pretty shy too . . .

New pix of SANDED hull are available at the link below, please select "Hull Construction," and jump to the bottom.

Best Regards, Spidey (Ken)
