It will be a long road but worth it in the end Max.

[bensid54]

More planking and shaping, I use epoxy because it's water proof and fills in the gaps between planks.

[bensid54]

More planking.

[Max]

Wow. Its really starting to take shape. When do you start to put the mechanics in?

[bensid54]

The mechanics will be the last to go in but the first to build once the hull is planked.

[Max]

Once the hull is planked, will there be enough room to get inside to fit the mechanics?

I imagined you would start putting in some of the mechanics while you still have access to the upper half of the hull

[bensid54]

The deck will be removable as will be the mechanics, you'll see.

[bensid54]

Planking hull and deck, the little guy in the background was where all of this started. The reason I built the bigger one was as you said Max where are all the mechanics going to go and unfortunately the little was just too small.

[Max]

Good thing you have patience, Jim.
That planking looks like work! :|

[bensid54]

Lots of work but I am determined to finish this one right, no rushing and when I'm done I will be happy with being patient.
