Finished the strongback and added extensions to lay out a 16' x 4' lenght of plywood. Will start marking the patterns out tommorrrow.
Cold here, but not in the heated garage. :D

Finally finished cutting everything out.
Spliced the panels together and stiched the bottom halve together.
Ready to start gluing them together and fiberglassing before I start the top halve.

That lumber has been standing that way for 2 years and it is still as straight as the day I stored it.
It is all kiln dried!!!

By the by, when you store your wood on end, won't it pick up a bend ?.

You are going to need a "bow thruster" to turn that.

But, it sure looks fast and purtttty.
These kayaks are mainly used in the marshes and inland saltwater bays, where no other boats can get too the reds. They will take rougher water (waves).
