Showing people your garage is a little like walking around in stained underwear. Lol. No judgements.

Got some sanding done tonight and all the edges taped up. Gonna give it a long dry tomorrow and get back at it for a full day the next.

That's fast progress. I like to go round the next day and fill the weave on the tapes with a loose mix when it's still green. Just enough to fill the weave, no more.

Looks good. If I didn’t have this forum, I would have made a lot more mistakes.

I spearfish a lot in the Northern Gulf. How do you plan to get in and out of the boat? Ladder of some type? I decided against a ladder for mine since I have another boat I use for diving/spearfishing. Mine will be used mainly for fishing/cruising inshore.

In the Bahamas we don't use guns. I use mostly Hawaiian slings and a few pole spears. I have my 20' Bluewave in the Bahamas for Spearfishing. It's beamy and stable laterally so I just hoist myself in the side from a pull up type maneuver to climbing in. I'll probably try it in the panga and see how it works. Some of the other people I've taken out have a little more trouble getting in that way.

The other option is a throwover ladder off the side. Those are a little of a PITA on the boat but work well if you can't just climb in.

That's a great idea. I'll keep that one in mind for the next round.

Got the sand done today after taping the seams on the bottom. Decided I’m going to use peelply so waiting on the order of that and a gallon of quick fair. Any recommendations on brands of quick fair. Is one better than the other?
