We start by beveling the edge of the bottom sheeting.
And since we are cutting up two perfectly good pieces of plywood with complicated angles, we draw a picture to help us.
We cut our first cut along the edge and our second cut after we snap a chalk line. After that, we check for fit and, magic! It fits.

We had already put on a first coat of thin epoxy. Now I needed to thick coat and screw the ends. I think I did this epoxy work alone, which might have been a first. So I was a little busy and didnt take a hundred intermediate photos.
However, when done, I took celebratory photos from almost every angle.
Again, screws every 3 inches on the edges and 6 inches in the field. Thats a couple hundred screws.
So at the end of this day, if the boat were flipped over and plopped in a pond, it would float for several minutes before slowly settling to the bottom. Exciting.
