Bottom planking 7

Breaking news! After a few hours every once-a-week since my last post I finally solved the bottom planking mystery tonight! Tip: if you plan to build a boat, spend a few hundred $ on decent plans. Building something from magazine 4 page plans is a pain in the ass guarranteed. I could make the sides and bottom come together up front only after trying and fitting at least 20 times each, and that is only port. Hopefully starboard will benefit from learning curve. It took me about two years. Not having idea of how something needs to be done is a great party pooper. Cheers!
