Top marks for ingenuity Ron - might be worth putting a plan of the boat tunnel in the tips and tricks section. It would be especially useful to people in cold climates.

(And it could be used as a temporary greenhouse after the boat is done :D )
Cheers, Bob

Laker 13 - christened and slimed (just).
Laker accessories underway.

Looking beautiful! I sure love the strip boats. The contrasting colors looks great.

If I had more clamps, I could build more boats.
