Mississippi River Skiff: update

The exterior of the hull has been glassed, kevlared, and faired.
We removed it from the forms and got our first ever look at this hull form.  Are there any other Mississippi river skiffs of Howard Chapelle's lines out there?  It is on page 99 of his ASSC.
Let us know.
We like it.
The hull was stripped above the shear.  The plan is to cut the shear after all the glassing is finished.
The strong back is being taken apart and removed from the shop.
We will get the hull back inside and begin sanding the interior and prepping for the interior glass.
Next, we will be forming the thwarts, seats, and bow deck enclosure.
