You are maybe to close to the ‘project’ but I’d just like to remind you what a lovely boat she’ll be when on the water. I really like the design. Modern paints longevity is always compromised by a poor underlay but I’d be surprised if that paint didn’t outlast the boat with the top job you have done beforehand 🙃 When glassing the ply have you ever had problems with tension putting a curve in the panel before you have had a chance to do the other side?
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. I hope she'll be at least a 10' boat. If I can achieve that I'll be happy. I've never had a laminate warp as the epoxy cured. I have had butt joints fail when they were tortured over the forms. But other than that things have gone well. I think using true marine grade plywood helps with that. It's much more dimensionally stable than something like ACX. Cheers mate! Rick
If you only knew what you didn't know when you did it life would be so simple 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@MVSheKon thanks for your reply. It's good to know as I'll be laminating up some large tank tops shortly.
