IslandTrader,

I didn't have a reason other than I thought it would be easier to reuse the molds that way. They will take another layer or two of matt to tie them into the gunnels and hull sides. I am encouraged that I only have the forward deck and two hatches to build before I am out of the fabrication business. You are correct as I am resigned to the fact that I will probably have a couple weeks of sanding and fairing at a minimum.
