Some skiff progress

Making some progress on the skiff. She's a flat bottom cedar on oak skiff that I picked up in September. The plan was to give her a good overhaul this fall and be on the water by the time the resident silver fishing started heating up. That obviously hasn't happened, but I did get a lot done earlier this week. It's gone from this last fall: 

To this. 

And after way more paint scraping... to this:

Autumn hard at work scraping the transom.

I like this photo because it shows all the dust in the air. Wear a mask!

There are a few isolated areas of soft wood - mostly trim stuff, so the plan is to scarf in some new wood, prep and paint. Then fish.
