Thanks Dave, we're having some fun. :D
We made some more progress today, got all the frames cut and finished splicing the panels this morning, did a trial assembly on the hull this afternoon and it all fits. Jaques did a good job laying out this little hull. the forward middle seat frame is a half inch high but that's a minor problem. Been trying to figure out some dimensions for the sponsons on the back of this hull. I intended to hunt up a small scooter or other hull that uses them and do some measuring during the builders meet. Didn't get her done so now I'm in Colorado trying to figure it out. Do any of you guys down on the coast have access to one of these small boats and a measuring tape. I would really appreciate some help with this, there's a bunch of these little boats down there with sponsons. Thanks in advance.

The build went well this weekend but next weekend there's two hockey games, one in Denver, and other stuff going on, we're fixing to look real lazy. You're very welcome on the CD, something SWMBO put together for the Texas Meet that we didn't get to listen too. :)

We came home last night and glued the transoms in the little dawg.

This morning we went out and stitched and glued the floor on her.

Time to go to Denver for a Hockey game. Squeezing a little work in every so often will have to do.

As it turns out T doesn't like Little Dawg, he wants to call her "Mini Muncher". :lol:
