Building the boat upside down left me with a problem I didn't anticipate. As there are so many right angles on this boat, I wasn't really able to form proper fillets on the outside of the hull. Therefore, I needed to reinforce it from the inside prior to being able to remove the fasteners. Working upside-down on the floor, trying to make epoxy fillets without them falling on my face was no easy task. Its quite a mess, and I see lots of sanding in my future.
Adventures in building a 9ft micro-tugboat "Huckleberry" for my kids, Finn & Sawyer.

Today, I tacked the boat together with EZ Fillet. It was way more messy than I was anticipating. Whenever I used to look at boat builds, I would always think that I would do a much neater job - NOPE!!!
