Yup. After I'm done fiddling with the boat tail v.1.0 itself, I'll put together a video summary.

MadBill: yes, I'll probably go with separate trailer lights for the final version.

FYI: I've decided on a plan. I'm not going to make any more revisions to the taper of this version of the boat tail. But I'm going to A-B-A it anyway, just because I'm curious.

The revisions will be done as I construct the permanent/removable version. I'm leaning toward a fabric skin (either UV resistant boat top canvas, or vinyl) over aluminum frame & ribs.

Still haven't found out if I can use the heated shop I mentioned a few posts back, but if I can't, any more construction will have to wait until the return of more civilized weather.
