lord I really haven't decided on colors. I think the inside is gonna be matterhorn white along with the gunnel cap. hull could go a couple different colors. I might do a wisper grey, or the teal color albury boats uses. Or I might just make it mattterhorn white.

Just to give you a visual. Just painted mine with the Matterhorn white and whisper grey. Non-skid on the bracket hasn't been done yet. I think it'll look good with a black rub rail.

Looks good! I'd suggest adding rubrail to edge of bracket too! It's pretty easy for bracket to bump into pilings around docks, etc., so some extra protection back there is nice to have!

I pulled the buckets off the deck and i cant believe how strong the deck is. It reminds me of the commercial boats i used to work on.

Gunnel cap, forward bulkhead, anchor locker door and time to start on the rear boxs and engine shroud

well I got some things dome on Saturday in the rain, I first wanted to get the top cap secure and I was off by about 3/16" of an inch getting everything lined up so I rounded up some things in my garage and got it out back into place

first I filled the gap between the hull and the floor.

once I got the cap close to being lined up I pinned it in place with sheetrock screws till I went to Fastenal for the ss screws. I counter sunk #8 ss screws all the way around and mixed up some potter putty in a mason bag and filled the gap under the gunnel hull connection

Once I got the cap solidIt was time to attack the rear boxes, First I got my measurements and cut a slot into the top cap for the bulkhead to slid into and lock in.

once I had that cut I made a template of the hullsides to cut the bulkhead.

got the template done and transferred it to the 3/4" divinycell sheet I made. I cut the bulkhead and slid it in to fit.
