Now that's unfair! Putting up pictures of that side finish and not saying a word about how you got that effect.

Seriously though, well done. You're going to thoroughly enjoy that boat once the water warms up.

The side panels are a fabric that I epoxied to the panels before I stitched and glued the wood panels together. Then I glassed over it like normal. The edges of the fabric stay surprisingly neat when sanding for the glass prep. Thought it would be my own creative touch. Thanks for the comment!!

Cool boat, I too like the creative touch. Good idea about applying the fabric before assembly. SEEYA Jack

Looks good. Is that the same way they do the fabric on the paddle boards?

By the way where is your pfd?

Thanks for your concern but I was sitting on a floatation cushion and was never more than 50yards off shore and the water never got more than 4 feet deep.

The puppy enjoyed the trip. She likes to go everywhere with me. Good thing she behaves in the boat.

I think I did the panels similar to the way they do the paddle boards, that is where I got the idea.

Thank you for your comments.
