Here are a few more pictures.
Here is the back of the boat. The fuel tank hatch was extended. We will also put an access hatch at the very back end of the fuel hatch so that I can access the bilge to service all the stuff in there.
Drain to drain the cockpit. I am concerned about being able to dump water quickly out of the boat so we built these channels.
I’ve really struggled with what to do for seating. I had always intended to have 2 captains chairs on pedestals for the helm and companion seat but then I would have wasted space beneath the chair and it didn’t solve the problem of seating for the other passengers. With the help of Jim (77SceptreOB), we designed dual seat boxes. We will place a helm chair on the more elevated, forward facing seat and the aft facing seat will be lower to the deck of the boat. We are also going to insulate the box under the aft facing seats and incorporate a cooler. This will eliminate the need for a drink cooler on the deck of the boat.
The seat boxes will be glassed down to the deck of the boat and we will add drawers under the forward facing seats for tackle storage.
