Last side took half the time. First one is always a learning curve........ Let everything dry , then sand everything smooth and varnish, then paint the boat!!

One side almost done. I have to take the belt sander to it and level eveything out. Total on this side,,,,,,8 Hours x $50 an hour.........$400. I am 60% cheaper then any boat shop here........... I could easily have $3000 just in labor on this boat!!!!!! not including $300 I have spent on materials, and I am not done buying......

90% of the strength on these boats is in the rub rail I am building now......Every screw hole was pre-drilled and countersunk, and every joint glued...
