Looks like a great project. The 18 was no. 1 on my list, but I could never find one.
Yeah, I know poly resins and mg plywood are on the bottom of the list for most rebuild materials used, but I've had good results with a previous project, and there's no reason why it shouldn't last another 20 years if done correctly. I REALLY like the layout on the 18sf as far as getting a little more toe room with the gunnel caps. I still would have scooped up a 20 if I had come across the same deal, though.
