Rollin in the shop, in addition to the blind reconstruction and decoy repainting, we are bout to wrap up the Nimrod!

got the covering boards built and glassed:

And smeared with adtech this afternoon with the help of Big Dan.

Although dim, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, ready for her to be filled with decoys and dead ducks!

You are correct. infact everything but the hull is composite.

Divinicell, nidacore, glass.

She is light, but strong.

She looks sweet. This boat is larger than the one you made for Brain and lighter or about the same? Looks good and only 4 days till sat. Good luck.

She is about a foot shorter than brian's, but has higher sides, a little lighter too. I wanted to experiment with some composites and lighter glass lay up.

yep, gonna deploy the canoe on friday.
