I do hope to get some answers to my questions but if I cant I'll just give it my best guess and move on... If the boat works others can follow and if it breaks I'll document what I think went wrong and how I intend to fix it. Its a bit disappointing how little detailed information is available.. so I hope that others who want to try homebuilding will have a path to follow.. albeit strewn with the debris of my failures and misteps.
