I am very, very appreciative of everyone's kind comments. This is the most ambitious project I have attempted, and there were times I felt that it wasn't going to work out. There are lots of areas that I could not fix and simply had to "live with it and move on", but In total I am pleased with the outcome. As I mentioned in previous posts, Phil S provided me with both advise and encouragement as well as helped me apply epoxy/fiberglass on the outer hull; I had never worked with fiberglass before and the thought of it was pretty daunting. The next big question is "will it float?"...hopefully, the next pictures I post will be of it leisurely floating on the lake.
