I’m done

almost done

Heading to have the motor installed. It’s been an adventure, looking forward to see if it floats. Have enjoyed the comments, everyone has been so supportive. Thank you

I can see the light

Start decking soon, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

If I die and go to heaven I hope they have sail boats.

Dry fitting the top panels. B and B has done a masterful job with this kit.

I put the first coat of epoxy on today. Sand and re-coat tomorrow.

I installed the side panels over the weekend. First one went on pretty easy, the other one put up a lot of resistance but finally relented. Glad that’s over with.

As a sailor you have spent enough time in purgatory to deserve some time with power boats. The second bottom panel went on easy today. I’ll tackle the side panels tomorrow.

I got the chines finished, after three breaks. Finally decided to kerf the last one. The bottom panel went on with out much fuss, amazing how well it fit the frame. Kudos to Alan and Nate.

I started building my Marissa November 12. The plans are great, details make the difference. I picked up my kit from Alan and Nate at there shop, unbelievable operation. I’ve included a few photos of my progress and will try to continue posting during the build. I applied three cotes of epoxy to any of the parts that did not have to be bent, trying to avoid bending over when the hull is complete. Having some issues bending the chines but that’s to be expected. Third time is a charm.
