Nothing slow about it if you ask me! You're making short work of it. Like those gunnel rod holders.

So far my math is telling me Ive added roughly 190lbs of weight in wood not counting glass materials. Deduct say 50 for the old floor and seats from the original 215 and im still in the neighborhood of 350-360ish without the front deck. By the time its done Im guessing Ill be in the 450+ range. Not terrible but Im trying to stay light as possible. I do believe the weight will add stability and ride quality to the lil guy though. We shall see.

From here you could easlily go full on flats boat if you wanted...but it would be much heavier.
Its really looking good!

Thanks!
My plan is a font deck about 3" below the rail going back 38" or so. Still have to cut in the back hatch and work on that. Going to do a removeable stainless pedestal and seat up front so I can pull it off for gigging flounder from the front. Also batteries up front, recessed cleats, shark eye bow lights, etc... Anyone seen any of the shark eyes in LED for a reasonable price?

Few more things done in the midst of a busy weekend/week.
Got the top outside after getting the underside all glassed up. I got some highspots ground down ( I LOVE grinding glass) and a final coat of resin over everything. ![]() I dug out some leftover urethane I had to get it coated: ![]() After 3 coats, she's all good and sealed now. ![]() Mocking up where the drain will go to drain water from the deck to the bilge and bypass the dry storage in the rear. I also painted the front floor area with some leftover already mixed paint. Aesthetically that area wont matter due to being covered by a front deck and used for storage. The rest of the floor will be slicked and faired out. ![]() ![]() Frank approves and wants to go for a boat ride:
