Glass bottom before installing Gunwales?
March 15, 2001 07:15PM

The hardwood supplier here in Salt Lake that I am using is fresh out of long lengths of gunwale material, but is expecting more within 2 or 3 weeks. While I am waiting would it be a problem to fillet and glass the inside bottom as long as I put in some temporary cross-gunwale
aces so I maintain the proper shape of the boat?

I don't see why not.
It may be a little trickier...to get the shape, right,
but if you can rig something, have at it.
