I would give it a 6.
You're blowing the top out of the difficulty gauge, so I'd say 11 or 12.
Awesome work Coach.

Ridiculous rig!
What brand of fiberglass and resin did you use?

The resin is from advanced plastics right outside of Metairie, I believe the stitch mat and chop is from FL, not sure where though

You can take that number down. Got it.

Update for y'all, I laminated my plywood decks and glassed them in...
After I got fiberglass on my balls, I was laying in bed and decided I don't want to do again for a long time, so I cut them out and went with all composite (rot proof and lighter)
Up next is cutting out my hatches, making them waterproof and ordering hardware (all decks will be flush) From there, I'll have the poling platform, sponsons and grab bar fabbed up. Then I'll finally be able to start sanding, priming, and painting her with Awlgrip

Made a fish box out of 2" of closed cell foam and glassed it in.
Solid as a rock and only weighs 5lbs. It will be glassed into the floor (which is the same foam). I'm gonna to fab up a small crawfish pot type deal to put inside of it, that way I can just pull the fish out and let drain by the cleaning table

Looks good.

It'll be a lot better once I get after it with sander and wrap it to match the boat.

Minor update (sorry for the pic size, first time using imgur)
Filled the old rivet holes with toothpicks
Sanded them down after the initial primer coat and filled them with 5200
Made a little scupper-ish thing out of PVC to run my fuel line through, it'll be covered in fabric shrink wrap so it'll look clean
Cut out some logos original to the boat, they still need some grinding and a few more holes drilled but they came out solid
What's left:
-sending floor/deck template to buddy so they can cut the teak (rub rail included)
-weld up the sponsons
-find someone that can bend 2" aluminum pipe (muffler shop?) for poling platform and grab bar
-install the vinyl wrap and then hardware
-order carbon fiber to make push pole (more on this later)
