Thanks everyone ! ! !
Rad4tuna - I changed things up quite a bit. Originally I wanted it 18' long. Looked at cost of materials, and for an experimental project, it was too much in my opinion. So, I scaled everything down to 2/3 size (12'). Then looking at it more, i added an extra 18" behind the seat. I have a couple pictures of designs I had a couple years ago - - - All of which were BAD haha. (SEE SOME PICTURES ATTACHED TO THIS THREAD)
Originally, I had it planned out that the driver was too far back in the boat for CG. Then, the decreasing tunnel depth was an issue (common misconception to the ignorant). The secrets of tunnel hull design book opened up my eyes a lot. Much of the dimensions were from basic "Good-to-the-eye", and some others were "ut-oh... that won't work".
I had inspiration from Glen-L designs, and the 13' Biel owner here on this forum.
HOPEFULLY GETTING WET THIS SPRING ! ! ! Tax returns will get me a brand new E-Tec (90 or 115... undecided for weight).

Fairing the hull bottom prior to glassing. I hate sanding and filling and fairing. Anyone wanna do this part for me?! Haha

Bottom surfaces have 2 layers of 6oz cloth. Sides have a single. Transom has 2 layers also. I took a picture of the worst spot for bubbles - - - No idea what was happening. Tried plenty of resin to soak through, the ribbed resin rollers to push it down, nothing was working for these bubbles. Maybe there was some oil on fingers or something preventing adhesion. Either way, I'll have to sand out these bubbles, and fill them in. I also am going to be filling the trailing edges, and sanding them to a sharp angle prior to painting. They're rounded right now to pull the fiberglass around.

Got three coats of high build primer on! Some more sanding, filling, and we'll be ready for gelcoat.
