I like it. They're tough little boats. Keep up the good work.

Great post & project. I've got a 13' whaler I've had for about 15 years that i picked up as a project. took me about 5 years to get it up & running, but it is a great little boat. we go check the crab traps or scalloping or just riding around. they are like motorcycles of the water, when the conditions are right, ain't nothing better. i also use it as stress relief. every 4 or 5 years i take all the wood out and refinish and paint the hull. i know its a PIA but it also is kinda a zen thing. sand sand coat sand coat sand coat, etc.
looks great, enjoy it.

thats one of the reasons I tried duraback, so I won't have to work on the hull again, we'll see how it turns out. I've got quite a few comments about duraback, but they deserve their own tread

Looks great! Lots of work there and great idea on the yard sticks!
The only thing I would have done different is painted the gunnles with smooth paint. That non slip paint is pretty hard till you wear down the sharpness some. But when you on a budget like most of us, you got to go with what you have! Keep up the good work!!! You are going to have a nice skiff there when you are done!

i definately wanted the gunnels nonskid, beside the fact it saved me a ton ofwork by not having to block out the glass work, I did't want to have a slick spot on the deck, you never know when you might be standing on it. Besides, I think it looks pretty cool
