Hopefully it'll last until I can save up for an open L'Edge!

River Stripper
Well, it's about ready to test out. It ended up being exactly 9' long, 29" wide at widest point, and 15 1/2" deep at center. It feels very lively testing it out on the lake! The secondary stability feels pretty good, so hopefully it behaves ok on the rivers.

It weighed 30 lbs before rails and outfitting. I have to weigh it again to see final weight.
Yeah, it would've been cool to be natural wood except I knocked the forms over before glassing and broke the boat in two...so I had to piece it back together or redo it from scratch. I thought I could salvage it, but in doing so, I had to fill in a few areas. So not so pretty
Also, the bottom isn't quite as flat as I had intended. With all the humidity we've been having, and with the repairs, it wouldn't stay completely flat to the forms in the very bottom. With the ever slightly more rounded bottom and the hull being so stiff, it is very lively feeling. Not so bad as a Zoom, but the initial stability is lively, but the secondary feels quite good. But the proof will be in the pudding when I can get it on some actual WW
Hopefully it isn't too bad.
