Even with all of the boats I have made it still amasses me how the glass disappears when it is wet out and becomes part of the wood. Then adds some more color or accent to the wood bringing out the beauty of it while protecting it. I guess you could call it my favorite step in making a boat. :D

It sure is looking good.

Hello Matt , another question, I am about to put the deck on, do I glass the entire underside of the deck so the cloth comes over the shear clamp or do I keep the glass just shy of the shear clamp?
Also what do the builders use to hide the plywood edge of the deck or do they leave it open to view?
Thanks
Martin

You could glass the area of the sheer clamp or leave the glass off that area. Your choice.

Typically after you put the deck on you'll have a small exterior fillet that covers the plywood edge. You could also put a piece of wood working trim to dress it up a little.
