yeah I agree with Dave and Mitchell... 60 is pretty rough stuff and you can easily sand through a layer of ply if you use a power sander... take your time a don't sand in one spot too long, keep it moving.

....and if your going to use the orbital, keep that sucker on the move. If saying your wife comes over to talk a bit, ignore her.

Be careful with sandpaper on a random orbit/orbital sanding machine if you are sanding Doug fir plywood. It tends to get "ridgy" because of the hard/soft grain pattern. If you truly have it down to mostly wood, you probably don't want…

The tenth frame is a short frame that may be hidden in this photo. It is under the line deck and runs half way down the side panel. Regardless, you have a very worthy restoration project and the forum members are very generous with advice. Enjoy…

I had heard that Woodie had always used 10 ribs but by the looks of your photo, yours does not have 10. I wonder when he changed his ways? Your boat looks to be bigger than a 16 footer, is it? good find and keep us posted on the re-do
