Plugs are back in the deck, and decks sanded down. I have decided NOT to put a foam layer on the deck as discussed elsewhere. I am still riveting the joint, but will be using solid aircraft rivets. Over the deck and the joint to the topsides will go a biaxial/mat stitched combo. BEAUTIFUL stuff, about 25 ounces/yard. Test pieces are most promising. This time around I am not ready for vacuum, but I can roll heavy plastic down the entire length and put loose sand on it.....then a few strips of wood and spring clamps around the flange, should work.
Have started working on the trailer solution. I think this is where the twins will ride..... 8'6" at the fenders, 8' above.

Re: LK IV Progress update.
Nice work! She's looking good, and it won't be long now 'till you're sailing. I am, of course, envious of everyone who will launch this year, but have only myself to blame.
Congrats, and keep keeping us posted!
Cheers,
Chris
