I did their GV-11 9 years ago or so
be careful if that is kerosene, I read that the residue effects the epoxy
looks good
here is a link to the build http://www.bmwoodworking.com/gv11.htm

I assume this is cold molded and will be glass over wood.
There was a project on the hulltruth a while back.
21 fter with a 4 cly diesel.
Boat was georgeous when done.
Lots of back breaking fairing involved though !

RMarsh,
When it comes time for coating and glassing with the epoxy in cold weather you can make a lite frame to go over the boat and get a cheap blue tarp. Put an electric heater underneath when the job is done. This will heat things up enough to cure the epoxy better. And of course you can use the faster cure to help. One layer of 10oz cloth should do ya.

Plans call for 12 oz. cloth inside and out and 12 oz. biaxial tape on chines and keel. I can manage the job of doing the work with a space heater in my shop. Just not on these January days with high temps in the low 20's. 
This is a pic of the finished boat built by another builder.
I plan on eliminating the cuddy and making it open with a center console.

Very cool.... Might want to consider putting some locking/lifting wheels on the strongback now, while you have good access. You most likely will want or need to move it around in the future. And it is only going to get heavier.

Good luck with the build! It's a ton of fun. I've been slowly building an FS17. I've really enjoyed the build and have learned a ton. Just be sure not to get overwhelmed. One step at a time!
Nightfighter brings up a good point too. Prior to the flip mine was stationary and it wasn't awful. However, I did put the cradle on casters as it was nice to be able to move around. Just something to consider.
Pretty sure I'll finish up this year. I'm impressed your out there now! I pretty much hang it up between Jan and March! hahahahha...it's just so cold! Than April shows up and the fishing starts...no wonder it is taking me years!!!!
Good luck and I look forward to seeing more progress.
Here's mine at the moment...
