The start of the sponson frames being attched to the hull.
Getting everything squared up working with many different angles.
The main supports for the sponsons.
The main frames are screwed & glued to the supports.
Notches are made to accept the battens.

The battens are flushed in preparation for the plywood skins.
Battens in place and first sheet of plywood being attached.

The plywood sheeting attached for the sponson chines |
Bottom plywood attached to the sponsons.
Sponsons woodworking complete.
The prop shaft hole is bored.
Bottom is completely finished.
As you can see, Fred Wickens had a unique bottom shape on his hull
design.
And then the fun part...after three tries the bottom is almost done.
I'm still not happy with the finish.
I will sand it one more time and paint the bottom (hopefully) one
more time?
I have been taking pictures from the start &
will continue to have the webmaster update these pages as I
progress.
