building a bolger diablo with all 1/2" plywood..

hi guys,

i am building my bolger diablo skiff with all 1/2" plywood instead
of the 1/4" specified.
I wanted a little more heavy duty boat.

it is turning out quite well so far.
I just notched the side and bilge boards where they are bending
so it bends easily.., and then i am putting epoxy over them when i am
done to bring them back up to size..

i did this when i built my 50' fishing boat... works pretty nicely.
