Hi Ian,
Thank you,
The fast track build (4 weeks) determined how much could done and still finish on time. The interior is easily accessed from the cockpit. Float bags in both ends and there is still good room for essentials. The rub rails are an alternative to glass tape at the seam. The rails are epoxied on and screws hold it until the epoxy cures enough for the screws to be removed. Then the screw hole is drilled bigger and hardwood dowels are glued in the holes. The rails got 2 coats of epoxy then sand and varnish.
