Default 2nd Build,new step hull

This is the start of my second airboat.My first boat was a flat bottom boat built from blue styrofoam and coated with fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin.The boat ran great but I was looking for something more stable in the turns so a larger boat is being built.This boat is being constructed of 1/8" birch plwood with a stepped bottom and a dropped rear deck area with both width and length being greater than the first boat.The first picture is of the original boat with the rest being the new boat
