Yes, I treated all of the wood with Thompson's Water Seal after all the cuts were made..stunk up the garage for 3 days.

That'll make the wood last a longer than totally untreated, but if you want it to last years a coat of resin & maybe even a layer of glass would have been better. Just food for thought for next time

I realize that... but I'm always tinkering with stuff, so after a few seasons, I'm sure I'll be revamping my design.

Cool. Nice job, by the way. Will keep an eye on this thread to see how the water trials go.

Just added my light / bilge / power anchor switch, and of course a cup holder with room for a fat sandwitch:

Looks great! at first glance, I thought you'd pulled the boat into the living room! Nice garage space - almost as clean as your project. Now show us some pictures of a nice feeesh sliming the whole thing up
