Strip: Is it possible to move a half built boat????

I have just gotten Guillemot #1 wet (this is my wife's boat, I figured that I might as well work out all of the mistakes on hers :)).

Pics will be posted soon.

I have found that it is not very satisfying to stand on the beach and watch her paddle, so I am in a hurry to get mine built.

I will be moving in a couple of months and am not sure that I will have time to get the whole boat built and glassed before the moving date. How bad would it be to cartop a strip hull/deck with no glass (if I leave it on the forms)?

I was thinking that I can probably get the hull glassed at least on the outside before we move then build the deck after.

Any thoughts? Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
JJ
