Mid-weekend update.

I got the interior glassed. This was my first big fiberglass adventure. It went better than i expected. i definitely have some wavy sections, and few minor imperfections, but overall, i am very happy.



Then i started glassing the interior parts



and glued in the drive well and filleted around it. Tomorrow hopefully i'll get some time to glue in the internal ribs.


Scotty, nice meeting you too. Thanks for the kind words.

Time for an update. The progess over the last few weeks taking care of the internal structure felt super slow and boring, as a result i didn't take many pictures or feel like posting an update. However, the floor is now in, and the final side panels are on and it finally looks like it should! Now to fillet those last panels and cut the front deck pieces. I'm hoping that this final push goes quick, i am exciting the get this thing out on the water.
