: Looking good, Bryan !

Thanks. The color is very nice.

: I guess there is more room than in my sof version :)

Oh ya, the deck is about as roomy as my Romany.

: Did you have to make a separate set of forms to strip the deck? If so, how
: did you set them up?

I used the same forms, but cut the deck out after I finished with the hull. These I hot glued into the hull. The hull pinches in towards the end, so I had to a)staple these in or b) screw them in. I did this at the sheer, so the seam tape will cover the holes.

: Do you think wider 1 1/2" strips (cut off the
: edge of a 2 x 4) could be used to strip the hull and/or deck?

The hull shouldn't be a problem for 1.5" strips. I was going to try, but the 1" boards at the lumber yard were better than the 2" ones. The deck I did would be hard to do with 1.5" at the sheer and knee bump outs.

: Off-topic question for you - Do you have or know if there is a pic of the
: completed Missing Link??

There are. It was a modified Missing Link - Very Low Volume version. I'll send you a picture back channel. Check your email and let me know if you get it.
