Congratulations Clint. I was very impressed at the time by the build thread but was wowed by the real boat when I saw it a Mystic. Job well done!

If you don't have a router and don't want to invest in one right now you could find a local cabinet shop or boatbuilder to do it for you.

Tom Hill is not a tall person and these boats have high bows.

If this will be painted you might want to consider MDO plywood. It's the stuff with the resin paper faces used by sign painters and available at most real lumber yards.
