ML Dumas build

On to get the rear portion of the cowl made it's a #@#@&$# trying to get it right lol

If you think that Atlas cowl is hard, try doing the 1973 Pak from plans. I spent the better part of three hours just trying to get the angles and dimensions all correctly measured. Believe me, it was a B**ch since the angles are, more often than not, compounds.

Plugging along, a lot more detailing on the cowling to do

While you have the deck still open, I would suggest you support both ends of the dowel that run into both sponson. This will help with twisting of the pickle forks. A frame that runs from the bulkhead in front and behind would add a ton of strength to the boat. Easy to do now.

I added a 1/4" piece of pie about an inch and a quarter wide from frame to frame going to do a little more sanding and put some pool noodles in there and put the top skin on the right side tomorrow

Some ply doublers in the nose of the center tub wouldn't hurt either, where the tubes pass thru.... looks a little thin there.
