Thanks for the photos Steve. That gives me good reference.I am waiting to see when I have it planked up to make the call.
Today I started strip planking the topsides. I had a bunch of clear red cedar that I used instead of normal plywood. I scrounged this from an old sauna being torn down. It was only 7 feet long but I just butt joined it at the framing . I ripped the tounge and groove off first then cut the boards into strips 1 inch wide . it handled the curve of the deck well . Used tite bond 3 to glue the edges and sunk a couple of nails into the edge locking all the planks together and where the planks intersected the framing.I ran everything long and I will go back and trim up later..
I closed up the cockpit by sistering a full deck curved frame at the first knee. I also was able to give myself an inch more boot space.
