Thanks Brian and Striper!
Just got word the Cobia and Drum are running a little early and have moved up off the VA coast. Hopefully it won't be too many years before I have my boat complete and can be down there chasing them.

1. Place/tools to build. Done. Insulated/Heated garage
2. Plans purchased. Done
3. Plans tweaked. I've now got the bottom redrawn according to lengthen/shorten specs at 24', the chines redrawn to reflect the additional 1" with a slight reverse angle, the transom redrawn to accommodate the additional chine width and and a slight change in the side angle to keep it all inside the 8'6" trailering limit. Working on cabin layout and arrangement. I guess you could call this the widebody GA?
4. Materials. I think I have a couple good sources for plywood located and a source for epoxy. Also researching glass suppliers and layups. Almost done.
5. Complete the wifes list of unfinished house projects before I start another project. This might take a month or two but making progress. Meanwhile I am buying and stockpiling my materials. Hopefully it won;t be too long before I can post an actual build thread.
