I decided to post a progress of our build in OKC.....enjoy!!!!
Some work to do before the build!!
The meranti and epoxy kit have arrived
Side panels.....nice day to do it outside!!
I finally found some use for my weights!!
What a nice shape......I am getting addicted to building this boat.
As you can see, I dont even need zipties to keep the gaps. It took alot of adjusting and zipties to get it like this.
More to follow soon!!!

The even the gaps along the chine show you did a great job on cutting you panels.

Re: OB17 Build in OKC
What did you use to cut them with? I was planning on using a 7 1/4" circular but everyone else seems to like those 5 1/2" jobbies. Dare I say it.......I may need a new tool.
Furture Discussion:
Wife: Why do you need another saw?
Me: Because it easier for this specific job
Wife: Why its just smaller. Does it cut slanty ways like the big one?
Me: Yes.
Wife: So its the same thing just smaller?
Me: Yes
Wife: How much are they
Me: Couple hundred bucks
Wife: I dont think we can afford that. This boat building is getting annoying. You are taking up have the driveway and almost all the garage. I got to move jugs, cans, tools, trash and god knows whatever else just to do a load of laundry.
Me: But I also need for that new bookcase you have been wanting me to build you.
Wife: Do they have them at Home Depot?
Me: YEP!
