This is gonna be a great build to watch! Probably much faster than the 3+ year coddling of my Sceptre shaped lawn ornament too; I admit the 2000+ mile 'trip to the boat shed' is definitely hindering my schedule.
One thing I never figured out for mine is better way to access the bow while having the access watertight and the hard part; not in the way when up there.
Really hoping Brian comes up with a good solution here that I can copy!
