I seem to have the same problem with my oldlady, every time she does it I threaten to bring home another boat.

That's what I'm talking about...

Most of the foam that has been used in the boat to this point is either Divincel or Klegicel.

Also, small plywood panels are being laminated into the foam cored floor where chair bases will be screwed in (I'll post a picture of this soon). We plan to glass the console in place.

Where did you get the anchor pulpit? I am possibly going to put one on my sceptre.

Bonefish (Bob) has sent me a couple of PM's asking about the Suzuki 250 performance. He is thinking of getting a 250 or 300. This boat deserves either of those two motors as he is doing an incredible job.

BTW Congrats to you Trayder

Okay, what did we miss?

Ok guys, here's where I am: Fairing, fairing, fairing. It's a lot of work, but doesn't make for very exciting pictures. We actually just put a coat of high build primer on the outside of the hull.

Console gets built and placed next. I'm too short to keep the old one.

The foredeck was in pretty bad shape with the support underneath completely rotten. The support was removed and a new one made of foam core was placed. It really stiffened things up so that cracks in the transition between the deck and liner could be properly repaired.

A very meticulously engineered jack system was used to level the deck while the new support was glassed in place!

Most of the hatch covers are also being finished up. In each opening, wood has been laminated into place to receive the hinge screws. This is a picture of wood placement in the forward fishbox. The wood strips running lengthwise are simply wedging it into place until the resin dries.

Hinges are trial-fit in the transom baitwell and cooler boxes.

I'll get some more pictures up soon.
