Port and starboard top side panels.

Before cutting the panels, I measured and remeasured then I set the task aside and came back the next day with a fresh mind and remeasured. Then I cut loose with a jig saw and then a hand plane to smooth the cut edges. I did spend the money for a quality name brand jig saw as much use was expected.

 

I had about six saw horses supporting the panels so no sagging going on during the measuring and cutting. The panels were cut out together.

 

Holes were then drilled for the baling wire.

 

Instant topsides.
