May 5, 1996 when I first got the boat.

Sanded down to gelcoat after the second paint job was removed.

Changed the bow to look like the Baron style stem.

Built the bottom same as the Barron Skiffs - 1/2" plywood and 1/2" balsa acumi plywood and mahogany stringers

New transom, Barron deck and hatch
