Well, it just needs a few final custom touches now. Then we`ll see if it floats.

Ron and Dan : It sure looks good. All your work paid off.

Made some progress. If you have seen kara hummers online you'll notice how I changed the rear and front designs. I routed out a slot in the nose for the keel and I had to make the front deck rib support one piece with a keel slot in the bottom to help straighten out the boat. Apparently one of the gunnels had a bit more tension to it. I tried heating the offending side for an hour with a heat gun, but I had no luck. Once the keel was routed into the nose and placed into the keel slots it straightened up nicely.

Great boat RB. Looks fantastic...... Let us know how she floats

Mello looking good. She will really start to take shape when you get some covers on it.... You wont be able to walk away then...

Do to a vacation with the in-laws and work I have not done much else. I have got the transom boxed in and the cockpit assembled. Next chore is attaching the cockpit with more changes to the original design to work out. Some of the changes have me paralyzed because or over analysis, then the solution comes out of nowhere a few days later.

I’ll get pics up before Saturday night when I’m installing a complete new home office. Friend is coming to set up the macs as I’m a PC person. That is a whole different ball of wax for me to deal with.
