Found Chuck's instructions for putting on a graphite bottom and let me tell you that man knows what he's talking about. Last weekend I finished the bottom, added some over the bow and stern, too. Now all I need to do is install some thwarts, pool test for seat position, and I'll be ready to paddle. A big thanks to Matt over at JEM for the excellent design. This'll be my go-to boat for both fresh and salt water.
