Looking good. Hope mine comes apart easy when I redo it. I am thinking I am gonna pull the deck when I do mine to fix a few things. I will figure all that out come winter time though.

I wouldn't recommend it, Without the core stringers and transom the boat is terribly thin and flexible, Even leaning on the side of mine causes it to flex! :shock:
