Hi Clayton,

Well right now we've got the stringers cut out and scarfed (and dowelled) also have the frames cut out. Now to set the boat up on the strongback. Doesn't take real long, as you know, to set up the frame. Then....I'll start taking pix of the covering.

This one though is a little trickier since it'll have watertight bulkheads and hatches, also modified the Sea Tour design with a flat top deck for flat hatches, so two deck stringers instead of one.
