So far So Good. I want to flip the Hull over and get the bottom
on tomorrow.I am not in a hurry but I do want to get it trued up and
fair before I get too far.

I am using some old 3/8" AC Plywood that I bought about 4 years ago
{@ $9.00 a sheet-Remember When?} I priced some Of this size Ply a couple of
Days ago--$42.00 a sheet!!!Even if I could afford that price I would Not
Pay that much for it. For the Bulkheads I Laminated layers of Ply to bring
it up to the correct size.

Bulkhead # 3. I put a "Butt Splice" here instead of a "Scarph Joint"
Also--By Leaving out the Scarph Joint and Butting the edges of the Sides together, I gained 8" in length. The I cut to Bottom to the Correct Size
to make up for the extra length. The Boat is now 14 1/2' long.
And I have plenty of room to Stretch out when I am Sleeping. That's a "Personal Preference" for
My Comfort
