The Plywood and Tyvex patterns came in! We spent all weekend including Friday night working on the panels and hull and got allot done! I took allot of pictures so i will let them do the talking. Also check out the video on the scarf jig we build it worked very well and was simple to build!
Full size Tyvex patterns. Worth there weight in gold!
Here is my boat! Some assembly required. It came with an allen wrench tho so its all good!
This is our scarf jig. Just two pieces of 3/4 ply put together at a 80 Degree angle. Using the Festool at a 6 degree angle making out cut 4 degrees off the center of the ply made a nice 2" joint.
Laying down epoxy. I used West System wetting out both sides with straight epoxy then adding a 50/50 mix of High Density filler and Fairing filler.
We filled the buckets half up with water just to give some pressure. Also we put packing tape on the ply so we had less to sand off later. It worked quite well.

Front view. I just threw it in the cradle. I need to do some adjusting on the cradle but overall it seems pretty good!
Here is a short video on our scarf joint jig. It worked well.
