WOW. I been busy and missed the progress. Excellent work. Looks strong as a tank. I often wondered about glassing the cap to the hull. Never tried that one. I have seen a few go fasts with no rub rail and a bunch of boats that have the liner glassed to the hull at the transom and gel coated from the factory with no issues. You are moving along. I hear you about the bubble popper rollers. You are neater at glassing than I ever was. I always say your not having fun glassing until you spend a few uninterrupted hours down in the hull sniffing VE Resin. Keep it up.

fellas thank you for the words of encouragement. I have to admit she is gonna be battle ready!!!! I have made sure that I have taken plenty of pictures because if werent for people like you guys on V20.COM and on other forums that take plenty of pics and documented there builds I wouldnt be doing this.Im gonna stay away from glassing the cap to the hull, there is way to much flex there and im sure its gonna turn out looking like poop after 5 or 6 monthes of fishing because it cracking. she is coming together and my splash time should be around late spring to early summer. Im waiting for one of you guys to sell me a cheap t-top for this rig!!! LOL!!! I will keep the pictures coming!!!

I love it and it is really getting there in a hurry now. Nice work and way to go on keeping us all updated. The pictures and write up is epic. Such a special undertaking with spectacular results. It came out better than many new boats and you did it with your own two hands. Not many can ever say the same. A proud moment. Lastly, I must say it didn't seem like 4 years. Way to gut it out brother. Many a man has thrown in the towel on lesser projects than yours.
Where is that painter? Oh here he is...
