17-foot McKenzie drift boat

I'm deep into building my McKenzie drift boat using the Don Hill 17' Flyfisher plans from driftboatplans.com. The previously documented builds here have been a tremendous help, answering many of my initial questions. I'll certainly have many more questions as I progress, and hopefully the community can continue to guide me in the right direction.

Walnut was laminated to the square tops to add a little more counter-balance...

And routed in a couple of inlays to help position the blades vertical when you first grab them, i.e., as long as the inlays are on top the blades are vertical.
