Miyot, Looks like your bottom planking will require very little fairing, it looks to be beautifully smooth and fair. If I am not mistaken, you are using the Ashcroft method as I believe Graham design it? Just curious, as many other builders of cold molded Carolina boats seem to advocate planking at almost right angles. I guess the Ashcroft method would be faster, any strength compromise? Great build, I am hoping to pull the trigger someday, just have to temper my patience first. ;-)

hightechmarine, I am curious about your use of composites in your build. What is the weight savings vs. cost/smaller power requirement? Or do you have something else in mind?
