The hard part is waiting a whole week for Mike to come over so we can work together.

Here it is Monday. Mike only had an hour or so to work on the boat today. He bought a couple of lengths of PVC pipe and cut it up in 2" long pieces to back up the stitches.

Worked REAL GOOD. We did a few more stitches and trimmed the excess fiberglass from the seam patches.

Looks like the one panel that we messed up on left the center gap down the middle a little wider than we wanted. Plans are to temporarily screw pieces of 2X4 wrapped with plastic to the inside of the hull so we can fill the gap without it running all over.

Edge seams look good, will finish stitching next week. Bought 4" X 1/8" tie wraps to pull the bow seams together.

Got an extra day in Sunday 10/09/2011
We finished stitching the boat together, over 200 wire ties.

Note: When laying out the bottoms and doing the radiused chine, you do not need to cut the radius in the pointy end of the boat. Left a hole that we have to fill in.
