For some reason, "fixing" things with power tools just seems more gratifying, although I could jusrt be mistaking the adreneline rush from the risk of disaster for gratification.<BR/><BR/>By "3" do you mean RV-3?DaveGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015349658680998609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14001215.post-69693115743923166872008-02-10T23:04:00.000-05:002008-02-10T23:04:00.000-05:00as far as your gaps go i had an idea. not being t...as far as your gaps go i had an idea. not being there in person i can't see for sure if this will work but i'll just shoot off my mouth anyway. do you think that you could run your jig saw down the joints where the plywood meets and cut out just a little bit thus closing the gap. i realize that this may cause more asymmetry but it may leave your boat stronger in the end. you just would not want to take too much. now if i would take the leap on the 3 instead of just reading on the web we would really have something to talk about. keep up the good blog<BR/>leonLeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288771971363819090noreply@blogger.com
