Here is the weekend update. Got a bunch of little things done. I mounted the steering wheel to get a final position of the cuddy, the remaining side of the cuddy is now tabbed in. I did a rough mock-up of the seating box. The hatch gutter for the cockpit floor is epoxied in. This week I hope to get the cockpit floor in, then remove the cap.

Such nice looking guns!!!! Is that teak and ebony? I like little side stocks towards the rear on guns for weight and manuverability. Built in looks sweet.
I can’t wait to see how your boat is going to turn out. I’ve thought about a Hawaiian/Santa Barbara style cuddly on my 18. Seems like it would make it way more seaworthy.

Pulled the cap last night. I'm planning to core the entire cap and widen the last 4-5 feet by splitting it down the center. Looking through lots of other builds it appears that getting the newly cored cap to follow the existing sheer line isn't a problem? The cap was much more flexible than I was expecting. Should I measure the sheer and block the cap to match before coring? Or will 1/2" of coring not make it rigid enough to worry?

When people say they glassed there cap back on what exactly did they do? I'd like to permanently attach the cap but don't want to glass the exterior of the hull sides. Would a bead of thickened epoxy along the cap to hull joint be enough?

I had the same thought when I set my liner back for the last time. I cleaned and rough sanded the top of hull sides and inside of liner. Screwed it off when I bedded to stringers then pulled the screws and wedged the joint with 3/8” shims. I shot System Three Gelmagic in the joint, pulled the shims and screwed it off again. Seems pretty solid to me when I have pulled screws and leaned into it.

Temporary screws and epoxy glue, take screws out next day. Radius and tab underneath. On there forever!

The boat progress has been slow the last month or so. I've been working on splitting the gunnel cap and putting coring in. One side is cored and hopefully by next week I'll have the other side split and cored as well. I've been using all of my scraps coosa to patch together the coring which takes longer but is nice having less waste.
