    I'm gonna say the 1717, 5mm more diameter and a hair longer too. As i said it pushes my 39" mono to 60.

            Agreed, love the free board. Regular DF35 has ride pad, no?
            Inlay template looks good!
            Too many boats, not enough time...

              No idea on that.
              The only thing I can say it that there is a very small difference in length and width of them. So small I would be inclined to say that it's only because the top decks are different.
              However, looking at pictures of the two, the pirate looks a bit deeper V, but it's impossible to tell from just a picture

                  From studying the pics, I'm pretty sure the bottoms are the same. The Pirate looks deeper because of the little extra freeboard and that's what makes the difference in the length and width.

                    That inlay looks great! What grit do you use to sand the hull down prior to laying in the cf? Also, since you're doing 2 layers, have you thought of just getting 6k cloth instead? Just a suggestion as that'll save you time and it's easier to work with.

                      I used 180
                      No I hadn't thought about heavier cloth. I just got some good easy to use cloth. I'll consider that in the future thanks!

                        If you want to do a nice job, it's necessary to have the rite materials.
                        A bit costly, but worth it.

                          Guys, if you aren't using west systems 105, I highly recommend it. I've used zpoxy for years and never has it been this easy and good looking....

                              I really like the 105/207 also, because it's crystal clear. No yellow whatsoever
