The math

Putting it all Together, Part 3
 
Take the seats and fold up the ends along the dotted lines.


The seats sit on top of the seat riser. (The piece that runs front to back on the inside of the boat about 3/8” from the top edge.)

The back edge of the front seat goes against the first frame.


The center seat’s back edge goes against the center frame.

The rear seat goes in front of the last frame



19) Put two tabs of tape of the foredeck and install it at the bow of the boat


20) Put a tab of tape diagonally across a quarter knee.


21) Make a cut in the tape to the outside corner of the quarter knee.
22) Install the quarter knees in the rear corners of the boat
Congratulations, you've just built a boat!

If you want to float your boat you can. Tape all the seams so water can't get in. Then, splash it! It won't last long before falling apart- so enjoy. If you want it to last longer, paint the boat with a waterproof finish (oil paint or varnish).
