Shane,

Seems to be. I spoke with Boatmik this arvo and we reckon it's going to be fine. Hoop at 4mm would be stiffer too,

I intend to glass the bottom though.

It will also need a gunwhale clamped/screwed on temporarily while construction is happening to keep the sheer fair, but it all comes together in a rigid little package (I hope!)

ok... got the ply
6mm gaboon from baker moon in adelaide... good price, delivered when
they said they would and good overall service, i recommend them
the ply itself looks good, nice even surface got three sheets just in
case.. ok now off to get glass and epoxy... have settled on west system
because my old man has some west system bits and pieces lying around,
and the distys in adelaide have by far the cheapest price on glass tape
38c a meter as opposed to $1-2 dollars at other places... god im a tight
####...

cool!

Better start updating progress on the Eureka thread eh?

Cheers,
