Summer of 2007: Finally getting good building time on the project after 2 years working & travelling. Have side planking on, battens glued down, bottom planking dry fitted. With good luck the rollover will be end of July 07. All planking is scarf joined 8' panels.

The bottom is going on as soon as the screws arrive. I'll install both layers at once, scarfs and all. I plan to take a lot of pics of the double bottom going on with scarfs done at the same time.
