Very nice work, Manfred...I like the way the boat comes apart, very ingenious. I've only opened the box on mine yet...

Manfred...quick question for you, if you don't mind...


The long box section piece in the hull...does that have to be removed completely?

Rich,
 
That box you have to remove, as well as all other reinforcement parts in the bow area, used a dremel disk at low revs to fix this.
