Status: offline 		Minor update: I cleaned up all the holes in the stringers with a barrel sander on the dremmel and then glued all the existing stuff together. I used CA and then did the seams with regular wood glue. I'm going to try to skin in the tunnel tomorrow night.

Status: offline 		I up sized the boat 1:1 (uniformly) and then I added a full inch to the width of the tunnel. I meant I was adding the wood layers. Going slow but I do have the first layer of wood (skin) in there.

Status: offline 		Remarkably similar to mine. Intresteing. I'd start a second thread when you begin building. I'm not kicking you out of mine but it would be really confusing. I'll be following closely whatever you post.
