    It’s been quite a while since my last post. I get few hours to actually devote to the boat but I’ve made steady progress. Here are a few update pics. I’m working now on flushing the gunnel to the tops of the frames. I build a permanent structure for her in the back yard since the last hurricane took out the temporary one.
    Next step is the clean up the inside and fillet all the frames to the ply. Still flopping on whether I want to do a planked deck or raise it and seal it. Plenty of upsides and downsides to each.

    Did you confer with the designer on the hp changes?

    It is not Mertens.

    I have exactly no clues what you are asking about.

    I believe the designer of the vessel is Evan Gatehouse. Simple question if you asked about the mods.
