Construction of a Chesapeake Light Craft Roadrunner kit boat involves assembling the hull, installing interior components, and flipping the hull for exterior fiberglassing.3:22 The build process requires precise sanding with 220-grit paper to smooth resin surfaces, though aggressive sanding can inadvertently expose the fiberglass weave.7:00 After flipping the hull, builders use a random orbital sander with 80-grit discs to remove copper wire remnants and level the surface.11:39 The final stage of the day involves filleting—or coving—the interior slats using an epoxy mixture thickened with wood flour.13:10 This mixture is applied via a piping bag to ensure consistent, bubble-free beads at 45-degree angles.16:11 Proper epoxy consistency is critical for structural integrity and finish quality. The project requires several weeks of labor, with subsequent steps including rigging installation, electric propulsion setup, and final painting.5:54
