Default RE: Re-Engineering A Dumas Pay'N Pak

I learned on my first boat to preplan everything and make allowances for changing as you go as every boat starts out one way and ends another. That's one of the reasons I hate kits is you can't easily make changes without having to fabricate new parts. I figure if I'm going to need to make new parts, I might as well remanufacture the kit. Here are some intermediate pictures I took to show how I've preplanned the build. The first two pictures show how the width was changed as well as where the engine will be located. The third shows the framing with some of the frames still needing to be finished.
