So far, the sanding and fairing process has been very smooth. spent an hour today with the hand plane knocking down the globs and cutting off the bungs, then following up with the Makita palm sander. I wish the Random Orbit sander was not broken, but it is. Got half the exterior sanded and faired in one hour. Will do the other half next weekend and will decide on the fiberglass issue. To glass or not to glass.
Transom corner.
Starboard side and bottom have been faired and sanded.

oops! a small flat spot. Will probably live with it. Wont be visible unless the boat is upside down. It is interesting to see just how smooth these bow seams can be. 15 minutes with the block plane followed up with the palm sander and 60 grit.

prior to sanding.
This area still needs some finishing with the plane and sander, but the seams leading up to the stem came out good.
Another view of the bow and stem. I did some trimming, but am working slow here.
this boat is a candidate for a clear finish. as the wood is almost too nice to hide behind paint. Perhaps a coat of 4 oz glass followed up by spar varnish and sanded smooth will do the trick.
