Have had one for two years, great boat, fast, stable and very sea worthy.  I 
have the bulkheads and hatches and they make it a lot easier to lot and 
unload.  Does not need a rudder, try the boat without it first before buying 
the rudder.

The only custom thing I did was to rout the lower edge of the combing with a 
1/4 radius and the upper edge with a 3/8 radius curve, makes getting into and 
out and handling the boat by the combing easier, and it looks more finished.  
Handles made by laminating scraps left over and routing them round matches 
the boat better then the doweling and the hatch stand offs can be made the 
same way.

I used System Three Clear Coat to lay the glass cloth, wets out faster and 
clearer and then did the filler coats with the standard resin.

Enjoy.  Mike
