Some of these photos have been posted before, but I thought it would be nice to group them together here for reference purposes. This photo shows the one-piece bottom ready to have the port and starboard sides bonded to it. The joint line is above the water line. I've never heard of this design having any failures of any kind. Here is the top piece that goes on top of the side hulls. regards, Paul
