Great project Tyson. I know you have just about lived at Skater lately. Lol

If I'm not mistaken Pete cuts every hull himself for a flat deck.

In this picture the hull is upside down because we were changing the bottom to give the bow more lift. I'm running Arnesons and they do not have the leverage to lift the nose like a #6 does.

The deck piece is on the boat for bonding in place. The bottom of the tunnel extension is installed.

The windshield retainer and deck hatches installed, we put the deck hatches as far back as we could so when we stuff it through waves they will have less of a chance of crushing in.
