Default Re: Another 25 Seafari goes under the knife

...Are you going to cut the top of the entryway to the cabin back now that you are going that route?
I like that idea. I hadn't thought of it. I checked out the door/hatch combo at Great Lakes Skipper and it looks like the hatch slopes up as it goes forward. Not sure it will work on the Seafari. But it shouldn't be too hard to make a guttered hatch. Realistically, though, I'm probably not going to have a door on the cabin when I launch her on her maiden voyage. I expect I'll leave the cabin stuff for last and do it after I get her wet.

On another note, I did a trial fit of my water tank this afternoon, and it won't go as far forward as yours. The center of yours is about two feet forward of the center of mine. But mine is 28 gallons, so I'm hoping it will provide enough forward ballast. If not, I guess I'll have to throw some pig weights in the anchor locker
