Just started a CF16 skiff build for @Backcountry 16. Was able to get a little done today. All the frames in place. Hope to have it all cored and glassed by tomorrow night. Also laid up some hatches.

It’s fully cored! About to put a precoat on the foam. Then I will fill with putty and glass a little later.

Well I didn’t get around to glassing. The rain decided to come through. So I didn’t want to chance it raining. I plan to have it in primer by the weekend.

Haha that would be awesome!!
How many boats does @Backcountry 16 need? Seems like he already had 5 boats built for himself.

·He only needs one more after this one to get it right!
Once he has it, nothing else will appeal to him!

Luckily for me Travis needs an ac in his house and that's what I do and I need (another boat) and that's what he does so it was a no brainier. In all seriousness he's ahead of schedule and sends me photos of all the progress anyone looking for a custom build should contact him.

Thanks for kind words @Backcountry 16 and @Boatbrains !!
I’m afraid to get an AC, it might make me lazy or get behind on the build lol!
