Novi 23 finally launched !
Re: LM 18 First Time Build
John,
Looks great!! In order to get the bow to come together I would follow AA's advise. I would either slide the entire boat forward a little on the frames or simply shave off some of the bow frame. Once the bow frame is out of the way it will come together nicely.

Someone asked me, if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring... "How to Build a Boat."

Re: LM 18 First Time Build
got the bow mold cut and back in closed the bow up seems pretty good, still have a dip in the bow. I will fill and shape with filler.
going to let sit over night, and start the filler tomorrow afternoon.

No problem with that bow. Wood Flour glue will cover up a ton of stuff
