>>2288663No joke. The hull shape is kind of bonkers to me--hardly any rocker, vertical stem, flat bottom, rounded chines only amidships. When you describe an ocean-going vessel, those aren't the things you expect to see! and yet obviously it's a tremendously seaworthy vessel. Congrats to them for taking two whole days off the record.
>>2288800I don't have a whaler myself, but from photos it seems like most are screwed in. Any reason you couldn't just screw through like picrel and patch with fiberglass+epoxy? I may be showing my ignorance here.
