Scarfing post mortem

Ok.  I admit defeat on scarfing the panels.  After fairing and filling the first two panels on for the bottom, I have decided to just do the fiberglass scarf joints as outlined on the plans.  I did my Michalak skiff this way, and the seam is not noticeable to the uneducated eye.  I figure that if I need to sand and fair, I might as well make it easy.

 Hope to get the foward panels on the bottom this weekend and build the sides as well.  the switch to standard stitch and glue should speed things up.

Also was slowed down by work, weather, and some damage to the transom on the Bolger 18 workskiff.  (nothing serious, just a hairline crack in the glass where it had not adhered well.  No water present!)
