The stern sheets (seat) is not finished & installed
structurally, you can see the edge of the foam core. The
center thwart is not totally finished yet but does have the
knees tabbed in (last night's epoxy job); it is structurally
complete. The gunwhales are not finished yet and are
tremendously strong, you can lift the boat from any point
(and drop it too, ask me how I know) along the gun'l and
there is zero flex.
The bow seat is just now having the foam core cut to fit.
The surfaces look rougher than they are because of the
different shades of filler/mix used in the epoxy. It is all
finished to a satin feel from the peel ply. I will have to
do some sanding & fairing though.
The whole boat is TREMENDOUSLY strong. If I were to do it
all over again, I would use lighter cloth & save a lot of
weight. Who needs a dinghy that can support a locomotive?
