Hi Matt,

I am really excited about building my first stitch and glue pontoon boat, however, I'm a total newbie. I work in technology and I don't know a thing about boat building. I have used your instructions, as well as educpuey's photos, and I have tried to flesh them out in bit more detail. I have included lots of questions. I would be very grateful if you could review the expanded instructions and answer the questions with as much detail as possible. I want to make sure I "get it" before I begin. Hopefully this will be a help to others too! I'll also document my build with photos and HD video and share it with you when I'm done

Here is the link to the instructions: pontoon expanded instructions.pdf
P.s. Thanks to Educpuey for documenting his build so well. Photo credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/educpuey/

EDIT: I have replied below with a new condensed version for easier review.

Hi Matt,

Here is a condensed version of the "expanded pontoon instructions". I have gone with my best guess on my questions and removed photos. I'd be very grateful if you could comment on these steps and let me know if there are any flaws:

Many thanks!
