We are finally feeling good about the progress we are making on the inners and gunnel pieces.  It is positively a two person job and it sure helps to have a wife willing to help!  We broke a lot of pieces but they

made a lot of kindling for the wood stove.  This morning we put the last piece of inner on, which is a very good feeling, as that part of this boat building project was not fun! We have the chine flats made and ready for fiberglass. We attached three siding pieces which was a great success.  We wanted to see how the plastic staples held when attaching the siding to the frame.  They are wonderful and we are so glad we took a chance on them.  The staple gun is a great tool-light and easy to handle.  You do have to make sure you clean it well after each use to get the fiberglass off.  Anyway, we are looking forward to putting on more siding when the frame pieces dry.  In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey!
