: Since I'm on here I may ask for any tips on joining the deck to the hull.
: Nick's way seems pretty straight forward but thought I'd see if there are
: any other ideas.
I had problems joining the deck and hull. Some one hear told me to use a old method that is used with pianos.I cut a u shape out of ply wood and hotmelt glued to the deck(it was too wide).I cut a wedge that went through the inside of the u and that pulled it together. If you e-mail me I will send you a pic.(kirkbueller@yahoo.com).This really helped for me...kirk
