    I know well Spira, I follow some of his work on Facebook, but the boat I'm doing is on request, and he asked me specifically for a flat bottom and a few sheets, to make this model I based on other types of hulls, also other details like reinforcements were selected based on the availability of the gentleman. When I finish the design of this I will make a model with the displacement V-hull and then I decide whether to do other with different shapes of the hull, because I don't like flat hull.
    Below some picture of initial frame, the station are in bended aluminum, but all is an early study stage, and the pilot console are only an example but not in considered for the final project.

    Here is a small update on the aluminum frame, I made the frame with bent plates and aluminum bars intersecting with the frame to reinforce the hull. The T-Top and console are under study..
