Default RE: .40-.46 build plans

I've got my centers and bulkheads cut, the transom seems strange, like the diagonals should line up with the centers (ie, \|___|/) so I may have to re-do it with different measurements.

I'm guessing the bottom is a sheet 11" wide and 2' and a little long, since the b'heads are all 11" wide on their bottoms.

I have some of that packing wood (1/16" or maybe even 1/32") but I'm thinking that I could either use the 1/8" that I've framed out with, or maybe spend the $$$$ on some better hobby-ply but I can't get that wider than 6", which means splicing and stuff.

Pictures shortly, I figure the cutting is not interesting (unless I added some protein to the build by lopping off my thumb) but the glue-up and so forth may be
