Grandads Woody Runabout Stage 2.

The basic frame is now almost completed and I expect to be adding the gunnel strakes next week and to begin to lay down the first layer of ply skin by early March.
 The video below shows how restricted for space I am in my man-cave little garage 9' wide x 22' long.

I intend to lay the ply on the frame in strips. Diagonaly with three layers on the bottom, two to the sides and two for the decking. The floor may be fitted as a false sealed void - undecided so far. I may also fit side chambers forming extra flotation chambers. However, initially the need is to calculate whether that weight is justified. I am building strength but without too much weight penalty.
