JD came over this weekend and we flipped the boat. It went much easier than I expected.

Fairing the hull is now under way. After the first coat, I am not sure if the hull is any smoother. This is going to take a VERY long time. My hands are numb from using the sander.

I built the front bulkhead, bench seat support, and transom support/bracket, and everything is now fiberglassed in. I will build the seat tops later, as I want access to the compartments underneath for mounting bow/stern eyes and filling with foam. 

Next step is to flip the hull back upside-down for fairing and paint. I just have to round up enough troops to make that happen.

Last week I fiberglassed fiberglassed the rub rails and reinforced the transom corners with fiberglass tape.

Today, I began cutting out the bench seats and engine support for the transom. I still need to trim them to size a bit, and notch out the bottoms so they clear the chine rail and sit flush with the floor. 

I modified the plans a bit. I will be deleting the shelf seen in the plans as I don't need a dash since I am using tiller steering. This will add a little leg room. I am building a box in the front which will eventually be foam filled, as will the rear corners of the transom.
