Well a lot was accomplished on 5-5-16. David and Tony teamed up to begin installation of the interior boat ribs along with the installation of shelf supports to be used to mount the top finish edge of the boat.
Sidney came over to share his knowledge and expertise. Apparently, his recent retirement gave him ample time to hone his boat building skills. Thanks Sid for keeping us straight.
David and Tony were flying around the boat installing all the ribs and shelf supports using lots of 5200 adhesive. I'd estimate they probably cut over 13 supports during the evening.
Jim and Tim teamed together creating the top side frame in the bow of the boat to allow support of bow topside marine plywood. The cuts in the bow of the boat were very difficult as two different angles were needed on each board. I guess the difficulty of the cuts explains why Jim and Tim were able to install 5 linear feet of 3 inch locust the entire evening. They did not have a lot to show for their hard work ... but the finished product looked great. I am considering burning both their names into the small boards as a memento of their great sacrifice.

Dave and Tony's handiwork. How did they do all that in a single day?
