Boat Bottom



I finally have gotten to the point where I can attach the bottom of the boat. I had to fiberglass everything from the underside that I wouldn't be able to reach once the bottom was attached. I had traced the shape of the boat on the plywood, and then carefully cut along the marker approx 1/4" outside of the line. I did this in case the line was traced a bit short. Once the bottom was cut out, I sanded some of the fiberglassed seems as this is easier to do now, then on the bottom is attached and trying to sand inside the boat. I screwed the bottom on the bow, transom, and down the center along the hog. Now that the bottom was attatched, I sanded the edge flush with the side board, and used some body fill to smooth out some of the imperfections so when I glass it, it will be smooth and easier to get tot eh final finish.
