Looking good! I don't envy you, that part sucks haha... So much sanding... Feels good when it finally all comes together though.

That's OK ... it was a huge undertaking.  Life gets in the way sometimes (mostly always) ...

Hey Lindy, Your Kodiak kit is in this pile of marine ply along with 2 other Kodiak kits. Starting to cut them out tomorrow. Hopefully ready to ship by the end of next week!! This stack of marine ply is roughly $10K

I blocked one side of the boat yesterday.  I used 80 grit and will chase that with 150.  The 150 is just not sufficient to cut the primer in my opinion. 
   First pic I started and forgot the guide coat.  You can see how much more primer is removed with guide coat
   Second pic illustrates how little guide coat it takes to get it to work. I sanded through the primer a bunch and still have a lot of lows to fill

Brian! Gidday, nope hull had the "marine' ply - stamped on these sheets etc, fail when rained on, 4 18mm (3/4") panels along the keel, 2 things here, leaving it too long and imported Indonesian marine ply, a hardwood too, was crap.
Needing much to rebuild, it got left - so, finally scrapping the hull a few months ago.
Heck I hated doing that, anyways it's 'water under the bridge' eh.
