    The boat flipped with little trouble and was lifted up on the trailer. At this point the hull we think weighted about 600 lbs.
    What you are looking at is what is called the outer sheer and the inner carling. They had to be level to hold the decking that was to be placed on next. The wood plane is my great grandfathers that I inherited when my father passed away. It worked great and I had tears in may eyes when finished. This was when the boat started to take on a personality and became a work of art and part of me.
    Laminates added just like the port side. Diane and I worked together every evening over about a two week period with this project.
