I have completed the hull of my Merganser 17W. It went reasonably easy but i am puzzled now i have come to the putting on the deck.
The manual is not very helpful on this point. i will tell you where i am at and then your insights would be appreciated.

I have the panels loosely stitched together and laying on the hull. It sort of looks OK. Most of the adjustments mean that i will have to push the the top of the hull outwards a bit. This in turn pushes the deck upwards.

So a few things that puzzle me. How do I get the deck panels glued together when i cant get "underneath" them? Then I need to tape the seams.... so the deck has to be firm before i can turn it over to tape the seams.

Assuming you guys help me to achieve a firm deck, - able to be turned over -, I can not then see how i will be able to wire the deck to the hull before and after the bulkheads. Even then it seems to me to be a huge "fiddle".

I suppose it must revolve around when i cut the hatches etc. but there may be other things your experience can point me towards.

Can anyone provide me with a workflow... hints and tips etc.

many thanks

Brian.... Puzzled!
