It floats two adults easily.

Below are some notes and pictures I took while building it.

Finally, it’s taking a real boat shape. I still need to add gunwales and other support structures before I can paint it.

I wrapped the end pieces with fiberglass. The ends were quite sharp, and I figgure the end is the most likely part to get bumped into something that could damage it, so wrapping it seemed appropriate. The fiberglass is actually fiberglass drywall patch tape. I also used it on the seams, and it seems to work pretty well.

The waterproofing made the boat look a nice rich red. I was almost tempted to leave it this color, but I think I’ll feel safer with a few coats of exterior water proof paint on it.
