After building crossmembers and stem the next step was setting up members and stem on jig and welding chine bars to members
Finally starting to look like a boat after welding all stiffeners(extruded T stock) to crossmembers and stem. Ready for
bottom plate and skin.



Hull is uprite and on trailer. I still have a long way to go but its coming together. I wish I would of took pictures righting the hull but my hands were full. Just my son,me and a cherry picker it was
really a sight.
Next step front decking and gunnel after that I can mount the jet pump then take the boat back off the trailer so I can paint boat and trailer. After painting I can mount motor, fuel tank main decking and console, paint interior then figure out how I want the seats.
So far its been a real fun project, just wished I was finished and cruising the river. I still have a ways to go.
