I like everything about your boat. Very nice.

What's going on with the top of your side frames?

Is the rubrail still in progress or are you just ready for battle?

Done is better then perfect . I intended to use high build primer, but it had sperated so had to use regular primer.

A few weeks ago I thought she was headed to the dump, my house is going through the process of not being my house anymore so just glad we got it done

I thought about your rub rail question more. You may be looking at the edge banding.....that is on purpose, padauk hardwood with varnish. Supposed to transition from the blue to cream decks

I was referring to your sideways pic.

The point of the bow having a "battering ram".

And it looks kinda like you cut a half-circle in the tops of the frames under the gunnel. Am I seeing it right? Looks pretty and I can see that the frames are still doing their job.

Oh lol so that......

So some dum dum with a electric hand plane tore the veneer out......

Someone oughta fire that guy....

So I covered it with more pretty hardwood

The circles in the frames are where the fuel line and electric lines will run when I pull them. Will bend a pvc pipe to fit then screw into the penetrations. All that is coiled under the deck, didn't want to cut hatches as it will be stored for a while.
