Back at work finally- Major day in the boatbuilding project. Boat flipped over and ready for "phase 2". Hull survived its turnover without damage and hoisted on trailer. Turnover was accomplished with a single amidships belt, counterbalanced by a second to maintain tension and to keep boat from scooting out once past vertical. Skeg, rudder, and shaft-log fitted. Of course shaft hole goes exactly frame 2 as in the plans. Prop shaft hole drilled. Now that I can see the inside will spend some time planning the interior layout and dimensions, cleaning up excess 5200, and hauling the motor out to the rebuilder.
