From the rendering it looks like you may end up with something like this, just a little smaller.

Its a 32' Jarrett Bay.

Here is the link to the home page for thier 32' hull for some ideas.

Its a walk-around, not sure what plans you have for that.

I saw the remarks about the transom. I have made comment in the power boats section of the forum.

That Jarrett Bay boat is nice. It was the Jersey Cape "Devil" that got my blood flowing for those lines!

Don, thats a sweet ride, I like the way they have her all lit up with the blue LED bulbs.

I went down to the shed tonight to take a look at the transom that we laminated on the weekend, I thought that 4 days should be enough. Looks like it stuck together OK, but boy even with just 3 sheets of ply it was some heavy. I am glad I didn't have to add the extra 2 sheets or I would have needed help to pick it up off the floor!

Think I am going to mark out the 2 x berth pieces next, that way I can see how much shut eye space I have!

For the record, I am planning on marking out all plywood parts for the boat before I construct the jig to build her on. That way I hope to be able to get on with construction without having to mark and cut parts.

I should wait with the deck, sole and interior parts like berths if I where you

I agree. It is safer to wait for parts like deck and sole.
Mark them on the plywood sheets but do not cut.

What Peter said! If you want, mark out the pieces to try to preserve the nesting intent, but don't cut them yet. When you are ready for the interior pieces, double check, template, etc. before cutting. You will find that each boat is a little different when you get to cutting those pieces. Cutting them to fit will keep you from needing extra epoxy and filler to fill gaps. In particular, a number of us found that the decks could use an extra inch or so to overlap the sides and railing. The ability to cut to fit, by the way, is a big advantage of cutting your own versus buying the plywood kit.
