    Haven't sealed it yet. Going to use fiberglass resin over all the wood in the hull prior to installing the balsa skin's. The bottom is sheeted in 1/64" plywood. Balsa block in the bow and stern hard areas.

    The Mogador is also available as a club loaner boat for battle stations. Going to get it dialed in a bit more as well.

    Mogador went to Phil aka Frog.
    I will be getting back to work on the PE sometime next month after I retrieve it from deep storage at Mikeys. Hope to gave it ready for sea trials and gunnery testing by the spring. I know thats a lot of work but I really feel that if I get it done it will help motivate my prey er um fellow captains to finnish a few more too.
