I should have the 'framing' for the stinger completed tomorrow.The 3-'boxes' are defined and all I need to do is pull the upper and lower batter-boards so I can complete the center stringers for the middle box.
Everything is trussed now and well triangulated and I can shake the whole truck by wrestling the stinger,with zero deflection.
ACE Hardware has some 5/16-inch handle bolts in the lawnmower section which will be handy for ganging the boxes together,plus attaching the boxes to the rear transom of the new boat tail.
I'll do the same for the faux 1-wheel trailer setup.
This way I won't need any tools to assemble or attach the stinger at DARKO,and at $500/hour will help trim expenses.
The road-going length for Spirit II will be 257-inches,with a fineness ratio of 4.057.
At DARKO and with the stinger,the length will be 311.6-inches,and fineness ratio of 4.671.Hornet,wasp,yellow jacket.

I'll have some new pics for next weekend.
