Midwest Main Lobster Boat

So, while I was waiting for the varnish to dry on the Seguin, I started the Lobster boat.
I just like the lines. I had a couple of lobster boats in the marina I managed in CT. Similar style.
Easy Build. Called the success Series by Midwest. That means I should be able to do it? 🤞
Began coating the interior with epoxy.

2.Operating Foward Hatch.
3.Removable rear deck to access the rudder.
