Next step is to trim the bottom flush with sides, ease that juncture and 'glas the outside with the 3.25 oz. cloth. When that's done the boat shouldn't leak a drop.
We'll think more about how the motor and battery will be acomodated, etc.
Grant has a neat old bronze "wheel" used on launches in New England harbours and fishing boats when he was a kid. It's pretty heavy, so we probably will not use it on this boat, but might use it as a model for making something similar.

Right now, we're thinking it will be mounted through the bottom of the boat and keel in a (PVC?) tube 'glassed to the hull, and extending well above the waterline. The tube will be supported by some sort of strut connected to the sides of the boat.
