Another weekend gone and more work accomplished on the 25 seafari.

Some photos of the deck hatch receiver and deck hatch that I'm building. Laid up and in the mold



out of the mold. It will get sanded and painted.





Mold for the lid.





where it will sit



Template for the hole I have to cut. The fresh water tank will go in here.





More photos of installing the flange and making the lid.



















I had planned on painting the top cap this weekend...kinda a big deal. I was going to make a spray booth out of the
car port as the boat is too big to spray in the shop. We have been sanding and fairing for a long time. Early
Saturday morning was the last and final check...and there was bird crap all over the boat! I looked up and found
that a humming bird had built her nest right in the middle of the carport over the boat.



I never knew that they were so messy for such a clean looking bird. It appears that they are able to somehow spray their crap vertically and laterally from the appearance of the area around the nest.



My only option was to tarp off the area under the birds and hope that their super pooper was not strong enough to spray beyond the tarp.



At any rate I did end up getting the top cap painted. Saturday was a long day.















I never did post any pictures of my 20sf after the upholstery was finished. Another addition to the boat last year was a bow mounted electric motor. It needed a good cleaning so I snapped some shots after I finished.
