I've started my GV17.
I' must try to remember to take photos and post them in the gallery. A couple showing the strongback and molds have been posted. Link below.

Gary,
Nice job on the GV11. I knew you were modifying it some but you really added alot to the design. Is the transom painted white or does it match the sides? My GV11 is still unpainted because as I'm using and have come up with some minor changes I want to make. Plan to paint it in a few weeks and I might adapt your paint scheme except using blue and white. Since I car top it I didn't want to paint the bottom a darker blue but following your layout I think it will work. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll post some photos when I finish painting.

Marty,
My paint scheme is:
Non Skid Sole: Smoke Ash
Topsides and Interior: White
Sides:Maroon
Transom: Outboard clamping board - Maroon, Lower Section - Sand
Bottom and Bow Transom: Sand
I happy with the result and will use the same scheme for my GV17, except I will most likely do the topsides in "Sand".

More progress, bottom and side panels have been joined and stitched in place on jig. Now for some "spot welds". Pictures have been posted, link below.

I would have been at this point sooner, except I joined one of the bottom panels the wrong way, which was just plain dumb. I had marked each panel with keel, bow etc. and just ignored it when joining one panel.
Anyway all fixed now and it looks good all stitched.
