That looks so nice it is going to be a crying shame to cover it up :D

Been at it.

Finished the bow section with tubes for wiring and cup holder.

Got a lot of the gunnel fairing done, but as usual it's a bit of a pain. But almost done.
Image

Covered the bow with Carbon, looks pretty good, took some effort to keep the weaves correct, but it came out nice. Going to do a few epoxy clear coats and see how it turns out, hoping it looks good so I can keep it. otherwise just going to fair over it and paint it .

Still looking very good!
