The second side was much harder to smooth than the first. It had essentially no tack left, but was still a tiny bit soft. That was enough to make the cloth refuse to slide while smoothing it. Got it done regardless. Bow, transom, and hopefully both remaining coats tomorrow!
Bow, transom, and second coat of epoxy complete. I'll come back tonight for the third coat. A question if anyone is reading. I've run out of the raka epoxy from duckworks, but I do have epoxy from totalboat, can I use that as my third coat?
Beginnings of what I'm hoping to turn into a mirage drive / daggerboard box
Tomorrow may be the last chance at epoxy temperatures without heating my shed. So I got the hull flipped and the bench supports dry fit. 
My idea to support the hull for the next operations was successful, kind of. Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution that works. I worked all day without the wooden risers. There was no way that could continue.
I'm about finished with my daggerboard half. My plan is to use this in a mould to make a female copy. I'll use this as a sanding block when shaping my actual board. 
More temporary than I had anticipated. 
The two attached to the hull and the partial bulkheads are glued in. The rest are just there for moral support
It lasted one whole day before collapsing. Here is cradle Mk3. I definitely want to get in my boat, but I'm not sure about my weight unsupported by the water as well as my design skills
Mirage drive / board case mocked up.
I know I'll want to reinforce it quite heavily to redistribute the loads. But without a mirage drive in hand I'm stuck for now. Can't close the float chambers without reinforcing. Can't reinforce until the box is finalized. Can't finalize until I have a drive unit. Hopefully someone will have a Black Friday deal, but I'm not hopeful. I'm in a similar position with the decks. I need to finalize my mast steps before I can do anything there.
Do you have much experience with the Mirage Drive? I fitted one in my CLC Mill Creek 16 and it was fantastic. The RowCruiser is a much larger boat, so I will be curious to see how it performs. The newer Mirage Drives have larger sails, so I suspect they are more powerful than the earlier models like mine.
Well, after literal hours of searching, I found a mirage 180 kick up w/turbo fins for $200 off. Success!
