A few more progress shots including a very rough sketch. Have worked out my tank location, dimensions. Bulkheads are in. Next thing is to run my conduits for the centre console and glass them in. Then it’s tank building time + floor installation.

Haha yeah for sure.

Got the front floor section ready to install but I might hold off until I’ve got the front bulkhead Mickey Mouse and completely ready for the front seat. Worked out today if I put it on it will make working in the anchor well a real p****. So I’ve got some shitty goggle grinding work in my near future.

Might spend the next bit of time finalising the rear section so I can start the rear deck installation instead

Project update. Getting there. Put the hatches in place today for measure up and for the virtual haines day thread on OSHH.

Next up is to glass the edges of all the hatches and begin working on the waterproof lid for the from casting deck.

Also I’ve bought an outboard. 115 hp optimax xl shaft. I’ve also bought a long shaft because I’m an idiot. So I’ve got a motor to sell. But the one shown will be put on the boat as soon as she’s ready.

Hopefully still on track to be finished by november.
