We install the tunnel planking January 2000

The tunnel planking started with placing the battens. They are the boards running the length of the boat. The battens stiffen the 1/4 in. plywood covering.

We start the plywood panels. This turned out to be a harder job on our backs than we first thought.

All that remains is the bottom hull planking. Yahoo!!!

Is this a boat or a basketball court?

Done for the day!!!!

This is our tired helpers. Our daughter and her husband. It took several days and lots of aspirin to get over the tunnel planking! Back
