17' center console build
Just getting back to work building my future boat. Put the 'glass tape on the chines and keel, then the 50" wide 'glass cloth on the hull bottom.

I am using West System epoxy. There are cheaper brands of epoxy, but I have been using the Gougen Brothers brand for many years with good results. There are no fasteners(nails ,screws,etc.) holding anything together, and all of the wood is completely encapsulated in epoxy. The picture is from a couple of months ago showing hull pieces going on the building jig.

A coat of thickened epoxy to fill the weave of the cloth and getting keel, strakes and rubrails ready for installation.

Lookin good!!!! I did a little last night as well. I get more and more motivated as the weather warms up!
Quick question/comment. I know when I cut my skeg out I read somewhere that you don't want to run it all the way to the back of the boat. I don't think it's the end of the world, but the water turbulance can mess with the prop some. I just ran out and measured (it's not easy to get to as it's still on the cradle)...looks like I stopped mine ~18 or so from the transom.
If you do a search on the building site you'll find a lot more info.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks!
Lower, are you building too? Got any pics?
I was wondering about wether the skeg went all the way back to the transom. Couldn't find it on the boat plans. Will check into it.

Wheeled the boat outside to sand the hull and attach rubrails.
