Re: 18' work skiff - update
The system 3 is faster (handy when glueing up large surfaces such as a
double bottom) due to the fact that it is like pouring a glass of milk
from the milk jug as opposed to pumping mustard on to your hotdog.
The 2:1 mix is easy to measure in disposable graduated cups that I
purchased along with the resin. In addition, the opaque jugs show me
how much I have left.

small garage does not make it very photogenic.

Just a quick update on the progress.
The second layer of 1/2" ply has been glued and nailed on. If anyone
is tempting this boat, I would recommend using a flush bit router on
the first layer prior to applying the second. then the second layer
could be routed smooth with the sides. Oh well...
Went to move the boat and discovered that it is going to take a case
of beer and a few friends to get it out of the garage before the snow
flies. It weighs around 600-700lbs right now.
Also switched from WEST to Systems three due to price and ease of
mixing. I can mix a few batches up in small doses in the time it
takes to pump the cans.

Dave,
I hear a shoehorn and a tub of K-Y Jelly {water soluable} works wonders !!
Ah, the dream of 'real estate'. At least you seem to have a FLAT, CEMENT
floor . . . I'm jelious.
Looked at the Diablo . . . 'Viking Funeral', or for the 'multi-use' types, -
a trip through a wood chipper - for winter sidewalks, 'hole filler epoxy
mix', etc. However, she doesn't 'owe you anything'. Really not bad looking
for 20-years of 'Use & Abuse' !!
Regards & Good Luck,

Sounds like it is going to be a deluxe skiff with ab ply.
The error maay not be yours, errors are frequent in plans and never seem to get corrected.
Pictures would be nice.
I remember that you were going to skip the center console, for more room.
I think you will not loose any room as it sits on top of the seat.
Good building and keep us posted.

18' work skiff is progressing nicely. I used AB marine and 5/4 fir
for framing and planking. I have found that working in a small garage
with exposed studs on the walls quite helpful for bracing and keeping
the assembly from moving while installing components.
The only real gaffe so far is the strange 1/4 error in the transom
starboard side when horning off from the stem. All other bulkheads
are square. The only thing I can imagine is that I somehow lined up
the transom and it slipped while gluing. The error is not noticeable
and all else is square with no twists evident. As the bottom is next,
this step of getting the twists out is critical. Photos this weekend.
I am racing to do the gluing before the temperature plummets in the
Northeast.
