Needed to do a quick mock-up before I could cut frames D and F.
The cabin top is going to be built separate and bolted on like a truck cap, once it is outside of the garage.

Getting to the fun part of laying out and designing.
Simply installing the cleats adds a whole new dimension to things.
Getting close to adding foam.

Installed additional cleat and glass for transom bracket, also working on framing around the transom door before installing last bulkhead.

You are going to love it when you are able to put down some deck and have a flat place to walk on. Even if it is just have a loose piece of plywood to lay down for the short term.

Fuzz you are right walking on a deck is awesome so much more comfortable. Even if it is only short lived.
Unfortunately I misread the foam specs, and was thinking 8 sq ft per gallon not per kit (2 gallons ) so i only ordered half of what I really need.

Wow! She is really coming along!
