I think you have to consider the commute above all else.  I spent most of my life driving the 91 freeway thru the Santa Ana canyon.  There is no worse traffic on the planet than that stretch of road.  Every job I have ever had has involved at least an hour commute.  INHO anything over an  hour twice a day just isn't worth it because you just miss too much of your family life.  It seems like you have kinda already nailed down you options -- either Valencia or the valley.  I would say that Valencia is a very nice area for families but they do have to close I-5 for weather often and that would be a big PITA for me year after year.   Also bear in mind that if you are going to commute it is preferable to live somewhat east of work so you are not always driving into the sun.       Good luck in whatever you decide, and if you actually decide on Corona or Redlands let me know as I could probably rent you a house in either place.

Yes the 5 gets close a few times a year but they close it at the base of te grapevine which is about 5 miles north in castaic so unless you work stupid hours you more than likely will not be affected.

Yes it was wax paper lol. It cut down sanding time by a bunch. I did this because when I capped my hull I used epoxy resin and it doesn't sand as easy as polyester or vinylester. Tabbing refers to the seam on the inside where the two halfs are bonded together with glass. the way I did my hull is ok but if I had more time I would do it the same way Wizard advises. This is very old school but, it makes the best bond. I can assure you that the way I did my hull is plenty strong enough. This season my hull has seen some water that I was sure was going to sink me and the boat came out in tact with no cracks.If there are any more questions fell free to ask if I can help  I will

here are some shots of my Sanger when I did it last winter. Sorry in advance for the poor quality.





Basically what you are trying to achieve, is to make two different pieces into one and unless you open up the seam where they are tabbed together  your glass job will crack.. I hope this helps. If you are looking for more pics on what capping a boat entails click these links.

alright well i can seem to only find the link for my build. But if you search hard enough you will find a thread started by Ralph Brunt. on his race boat he decided to start capping.. good luck and if you do end up going fo it just remember. We like pictures

Quick answer(I'm @ work) you are going to have to ope up that seam and v grind it so there is good bonding area. I will post pics of mine when I get home from work tonight.

Cool boat. Justin, how late does Jim normally stay at the shop. I have to call him about my pump he rebuild last winter and cant call durring normal hours.

here are a few pics I shot this weekend. sorry my boat wasn't there Saturday. I brought the boat out but unfortunately the motor decided it had enough and let go Friday on its way to the beach.

X2 also what are you looking to achieve with your pump? And pictures are always a plus

Alright Skip, we'll have to pitch in for somethin' cold and wet at the bar for all your hard work.   
It's getting close, is there gonna be a new roll call to see who's actually showing up to this shindig ?
We're in, I think the regulars minus one are showing up. Too bad Gordy and Marylou are too far away for this one
but I think they're in next March.
Anyhows thanks for setting it up. We are looking forward to the weekend.   

Danny & Sheree'

I started a roll call  last week. Never grew legs. so now that we are within a week of this little shindig maybe it will. I will be there with my boat and a buddies boat. we will be leaving thursday night
