In Episode 6, I take care of a couple final details required before I could begin assembly of the boat. Specifically, I used measurements from the inside faces of the two hull panels to transfer the sheerline, or gunwale, position to the exterior of the hull, where it’d be needed for actual installation of the trim later. Then, I epoxy-coated all sides of all the bulkheads and transom to prepare them for installation.
