I installed the cross braces at station 3 and 10 today. Michalak says the one at 3 is probably optional, but I plan on keeping it as it might make a nice place to tie a temporary anchor or help tie it to the roof of the car.
This is the bottom, zip tied in place. I was using wire, but gave up after punching a few holes in my hands. This is much more user friendly.
The bow twist is a little difficult to get to lie flat. From here it is nothing some filler (ok, lots of it) and glass wont hide. This took a lot of patience and some easing the center seam with a hand saw. I was just glad that I put the halfs together in the correct orientation. That would have been annoying. The zip ties work well. I believe I can sand right over them and leave them inside the putty.
Another view.
I got a little too aggresive easing the center seam in the middle of the boat. Once again, filler and sanding should hide it pretty good. I am not looking forward to working upside down in here.
?
These 1/4" holes allowed me to use a larger size zip tie 8" long. that really helped a lot with the assembly. If I were to do it again, I would loosely join the two panels, secure the edges and do the final trimming on the centerline last.
