Brr.

Its been cold here but construction has been ongoing. Here's more pics less talk

Bagging foam core for coring coamings and supports

Fitting decks, gutters and coamings

Dry boxes mostly assembled. Notice the grey strip of coosa board to mount hinges into

Fillet and taping drybox deck segments

Restored and sold my wooden drift boat. New paint and oil and lots of little fixes

Goodbye old friend

Then right back to building. Parts are stacking up everywhere but slowly finding homes

Gluing in rowers footwell floors and supports

Fitting back coamings with bulkhead in. Coamings are glued together. The footwell drybox has a removeable lid with a removeable level floor. Trying to establish a straight deck line that slopes gradually to the center of the boat.

Made one last small coaming for the front flyspeck drybox. All the other hatches were too big

Then I got bored and routed holes in the boat

Gluing in the rowers footwell

I need more clamps

Completed rowers footwell glued up with gutters and coamings

Now that it's -10 outside I had to move into the wood fired shop for a bit. Used my vacuum bag to core the hatch lids 2 at a time. Notice the coosa board coring to mount piano hinges into. Still no wood used on the boat. Top glass next, and hopefully the weather mellows so I can glass the transom inside and assemble the rest of the front and rear of the boat. The rest may have to wait for better weather in the spring. Running out of parts to make here so the end is in sight
