So it begins to take shape. I'm sure that adjustment will be made to fine tune the furring strips - just not sure how to do the bow yet.

After seeing all the furring strips I went back to the start of your thread to make sure you are building the hull out of foam. This will make the build even better to watch :D Are you planning on glassing the inside of the foam before hanging it or waiting till after the flip?

it's amazing the things one tries to think of when building, glassing the inside of the foam before mounting did not occur to me. I'll research it, thanks

More furring strips, both sides done now. Purchased over 100 3/4" x 8' of which 40% where twisted so bad that they will be used for fire starter this winter. It's really starting to look Huge ( thinking about all that sanding surface ).

All the strips are so the foam wont sag between the molds until you get them glassed up?

I believe so, although divinycelll H 80 seems sturdy enough.

Also in addition to not sagging they give a place which to attach screws from the underside ( holds the H80 in place). I spent most of today predrilling holes, because the sheet rock screws are just large enough to split the furring strips. Sorry no pictures.
