Thanks. I'm going to leave the boat as is. I built it mainly as a rolling boat. This is also my first SOF in over 30 yrs and the one's I built back then (as a 13 yr old) were my own "design" and not very good. So, I've decided to continue on as planned and see how things pan out when completed. When I ordered the polyester, I bought enough to do two boats, so I will do some modifications on the second boat. I slightly lengthened this build to accommodate my size 13 feet but on the next, I may make it a little more roomier.

Live and learn, as they say.

In the meantime, this one will also fit my wife, my son and my daughter, so between the four of us, it should get some good use!!
