Nice. What's the thing on the bottom, between the keel and starboard rail?
Very nice

Fairing block for a transducer.

Bottom finished, now just a week-long wait before flipping. Will hit a period of limited work after flipping due to some planned trips, so slow will actually be creeping. But I'll be glad to be on the other side of the boat.
Wetlander topcoat went on pretty much the same as the primer - heavy initial fish-eyeing but went away with secondary roll and subsequent coats. I got 3 thin coats out of the half gallon.

Be careful, you might win! Then again, you need another place to stack wood

Would be a good wood pile cover....
kinda looks like robin hood's hat, just needs a feather
Looks like some of the duck hunting boats I used to see when I lived in Missouri. Shallow draft, very stable...
That's starting to look too nice to be an old duck boat!

Old farm trucks once looked nice, too. Once.
So true! I used to occasionally use a former boss' "duck boat" - one of many. In reality after you took off the durned brush, washed the mud and blood off, and dug out all the empty vodka bottles, spent shells, and Lite cans - it was a dented up old v-bottom aluminum boat that leaked some and with a questionable 40 horse on the back. While using it for fishing, more than once I was stranded in the middle of the lake with a motor that would not run and would have to at least partially paddle back to the marina!

Henry, is that a Rotex and top of the Festool Dust Extractor? Like it?

Yes, very much. I rarely buy "top.of the line", but I've had these about 10 years and they work better than any vacuum and sander I've ever had. I'd buy either/both again.
I agree with you.
