As promised, I now have pictures of something that looks like a boat! Katy told me she could tell I was excited because my face was lit up …all of which was true. It felt like it was my birthday.
Step #7
Before we began assembling our boat, I had to make two quick cuts on the ends of our sideboards. I laid our two sideboards on top of each other so I would only have to make two cuts rather than four.

Step #8
Once we had our angled sideboards, we attached the two front ends to the bow stem by gluing them and using screws to hold them in place while the glue dried.

| After we spread glue on our bow stem, we screwed our sideboard to hold it in place while the glue dried |

Then we attached our transom to the back end of one of the sideboards. At this point our boat looked like a pizza slice.

…and then we bent our other sideboard in to attach to the other side of the transom (again by gluing and screwing). We put the center seat knee in place to bend the sideboards out. And finally, we had something that looked like a boat!
