Thanks for the compliment...there are so many other things i wish i could have documented . I mean alot more pictures would have been good...

I dry fitted the 9' bed a few times to get the height ringt.. I then knew i had to install a center stringer to help spread the load .. That was a major pia.. Especially by myself..i lamenated two3/4" foam boards to gether and then.. Be gan sanding the piece slowly down to get the correct spacing between the bed and center keel..i covered it in a layer of1808 and down each side of the stringers port and starb to give the bed some fresh glass to stick to..while tacky. I piled on the resin cabosil putty on the keel and down both sides then i carefully set the bed down and wedged whatever i could find to keep it down.. Cause the bed had a slight crown.. Which to me is good...
