Beautiful work!!!!! Jeff

Love the craft you employ throughout the whole boat, but those end pieces blow me away. Such a small detail and yet so important to the big picture. She is amazing!

Couldn't agree more! Love seeing what you come up with for this build!

Got the carpeting done over the weekend, what a job!! Super happy with the results though!

[BB Sig]

It certainly creates the counterpoint to those of us who think "workboat works on my boat".

Gorgeous finish.

Did the cockpit floor with an anti-slip over the weekend. Used a local truck-bed liner product that worked easily and I'm very happy with the results. Still need to fit the hardware on the hatch lid for the floor live well and cockpit drainage fitting.





I need some advice: what are you all using on the inside of the motor well to secure the motor bolts in terms of washers etc. Are large washers sufficient..? Size, thickness, material..? or should I use a type of plate that covers a larger area..? I would appreciate some input.

This question was just addressed on another thread for a PH16, the advice from Aripeka Angler was: "When you get to the rigging stage, I would recommend using the metal bolt backing plates on the forward side of your transom.
This will prevent the motor bolts from sinking into the wood on the transom."

X2 use plates and spread that force out over a larger area.
