 I worked on the V today. I finally mocked up the arch for the bow cap and what a pain in the @$$. I will glue the 2 pieces together in place and let it kick off then I will remove it from the boat and radius the bottom edge then glass it up. After its glass up I will then glue and screw it back on the boat and glass it in place.

Good to see it coming along. The arch looks to add a nice finishing touch.

Now that I sit back and look at my boat there is not much I would change because the design is going to be about as simple as it gets and when it comes to fishing simple is the best way to go. But I would change one thing....compsite material and epoxy!!! Man I wish it was affordable for us poor folks. I would run this boat the rest of my life if I used composite material. Oh well.....back to my bloody Mary drink.

  Here's a pic from today. Fine tuning forward bow cap and inner rail arch on the front. The arch is gonna be glassed in some time this week then I will glass the cap ply in the next couple weeks. But what you see here is my set up with the "coffin" style mounted cooler up front.

Kracker the cap looks great. The ONLY improvement I could suggest is close that transom off, install a bracket and continue your rail around the transom.

Great work!!!
 I also agree with the closing of the transom and use of a bracket, nothing like a full transom to keep the water out!! At least if its not a 25" transom you can make it one now for more motor options.

Guys trust me I would love to close her in!!!! I would love to bump up to a 25 inch transom. I just don't have extra money to buy another motor. I'm gonna run this motor I have to get me by for now. This is not a boat that's gonna be used all the time and only in ideal conditions with nice weather Windows. She will have a solid transom before I die! But it won't be for another 2 or 3 years. Trust after all that I've learned on this build I'm not scared to cut into a boat and start doing some surgery! Lol!!! I actually called about a bracket today but still my motor is only a 20" inch shaft and she would be swimming most of the time with a bracket plus when I do the solid transom it will be with a new 25" inch motor. All in due time fellas.
