These kits use the beautiful custom panel joining method developed by my USA kit supplier Clint Chase. These are the best GIS kits in the world.

Gosh it has been a steep learning curve. Have been back and forth with the cutting people to get things to work correctly. Computer cutters (the machines) are really dumb. But the engineering guys who run them have been extremely helpful and patient.

The boat assembles quickly because the number of pieces of ply are minimal.

These are all the main bits for the hull.

It is a great reminder of what a simple boat the GIS is. That is the LOT.

On the full size version there are more detailed bits … like all the little gussets that hold the sub seat structure together will be precut too .. limber holes too.

Making GIS hull assembly with Tabs go very quickly
