I flipped the boat Sat. eve.  Tonight I will get her on cradles with some wheels and then the interior work can begin.  I flipped the boat using lift points at bow and transom.   I was very impressed with how balanced it is.  The level is right on the bubble for port/starboard balance.  going to check fore and aft tonight when I put it on cradles.

Bob,
Your boat looks amazing, I am glad the flip went well.  You should be launching next summer the way you are progressing.   

 :)

No news since October...that is ominous!
Remember, the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic was built by professionals.
Started building Paula J the 2nd Week of June 2015, finished her the second week of July 2016.
