The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.
Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

Thanks Fishingdan.
I changed the front to be a pointed bow instead of the garvey type front. The bottom is flat except for the first 3' or so which I curved up about 3". Did this to make the boat quieter when fishing the flats. When standing up front using the trolling motor all the chine area will be under water which stops the slapping noises made by small waves and ripples hitting the boat. I have been in a boat that has all chine area submerged and it was dead quiet when slow trolling even in wind chop and small waves.
By putting the point on the bow it extended the LOA by about 9".
I'll also be extending the rear seat all the way to the transom to serve as more casting deck.

A little saw dust, a little glue, and a lot of love, and she will float.

Come on down!
The back seat top will be extended all the way to the transom.
The front seat will be extended to the front casting deck over the area above the stringers. That is where I'm putting my fuel tank(between the stringers). So on each side of that extension there will be a seating area.
Will see how it all works out.
