Updated build photos

About a week, or so ago someone wanted a better look at the chine  
strips for my boat. So Iv finally got them up, you can find them at:

Also, some images of fitting the solid bow.

To provide a bit of background, my strips are a bit wider than most,  
at just over 30.17mm (1-3/16 inch). And because of this the way Iv  
striped the bottom of the hull is a bit different than what Bramo  
suggested in the build instructions. I only used one chine strip on  
the bottom of the hull. Then ran the rest of the strips straight,  
starting at the center and working toward the chin. The nice part of  
strippign this way was it only required 2 strips to close the hole.  
The down side, to the wide strip, is that it takes a bit of work to  
get the strip to conform to the shape of the hull. I had to use  
screws to hold the strip at each station.

But I have had no splitting, or popping, of the chine strips since  
removing the screws to fare the hull. So I can only assume that all  
is well.

Thats all for now, let me know if anyone has problems finding the  
photos at http://flickr.com/photos/loft42/

And to all going to Fla, you luckey *&@#@#. Have fun in the sun.
