Chine fillets are done, and I added some fiberglass tape to the Chine tonight. Back is a little sore from bending over the hull, but well worth it! Next up, glassing the bottom. E glass, 17oz biaxil mat, and more  e-glass.  Huge thanks thus far to Andy H (highdesertdories.com) for answering my constant questions. Also, thanks to Brad Dimmock (fretwaterlines.blogspot.com) and his idea for Tequila beach paint color from Kirby Paint (kirbypaint.com). Such a great idea, and i will be ordering that soon for the decking. Just need to decide on the colors for the hull.
This has been such a fun and rewarding experience. I have never taken on a project like this, and already know this will not be the last boat i build. Gota have a smaller drift boat for fishing, right?!
