More woodwork, jah. Here's No.2 being fitted up. The funky cleats on the chine logs are to cure a slight twist in the ply.

Satisfied with the fit-up, I took everything out and wet out the end grain on the frame and floor, and the bare locations on the hull. After they were done off-gassing, on went the thickened epoxy followed by the fillets. Here's No. 2 all bonded in. "R2D2" continues to stand watch in the fo'c's'le.

Wes,

Thank you very much for this brochure and information. No. 5 is "basic" without pumps, oilers, piping, etc., but more than I ever expected to have.

What Miss Ann calls a "pretty" shot: fitting up the pump links.
