Building the Picklefork Pictorial

Outboard boat plans Fig. 17: After the side planking is fastened in place, the overhanging edges may be trimmed to receive the bottom planking. Final finishing of the fairing in the aft section is best done with a 12" long minimum block with san.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 18: The RUNNER SIDE PLANKING #11 is screwed in place after coating all mating areas with glue.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 19: The RUNNER SIDE PLANKING #11 is fitted oversize as shown. The only area that must be fitted carefully now is that portion forward of FRAME #3 which will butt to the RUNNER BOTTOM #12.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 20: The RUNNER SIDE PLANKING #11 is shown after trimming and fairing.

Screws should be located lower here so as NOT to interfere with fairing.
