She looks kind of Rough now but when I get it Glassed

I know I can, I know I can....... It took Two Days to get the Strip Planking this far. Strip Planking is Very Time Consuming!!

I am using "Titebond II" Wood Glue, "Gold" Deck Screws,
and Ring Nails to hold everything together.

The Planking Started.I left one side of the deck open so I can

I found a large Shipping Crate next the the Dumpster at
My Job Site yesterday, Looks like it is made out of White Pine,
1" X 4" and 2" X 3" boards. It was Stapled together so It's very easy
to tear apart. Now I have My "Floor" {:>

I spent $48.00 On Nails, Screws, 5"Sanding Discs, 4" Sanding Belts, 1 Gallon
of Titebond II Wood Glue Today, So that brings the Grand Out of Pocket Total
Expenditure for this Project to A Whopping $98.00 So Far

Here is a shot of the Stem and Bow Deck.
I put 3-7/8" Wooden Dowels {Broom Sticks} through
the Outer and Inner Stem to strengthen it a bit.
I haven't cut them all off yet.


The pic on the left shows the Pine Strip Floor.
On the Right is the "Dow" Blue Foam I am using for Flotation.
