Thought I should add a few updated pictures even though my progress this year has been slow.
I managed to get the deck glassed but have not filled the weave as of yet.
I did a few revisions and additions inside, trying to get the feel for the comfort that I think I might need.
This last of couple of weeks, I got motivated to dive back in, but the weather has changed to the point
that I'm not sure what I can do next.

VG 20 interior
Here's a panorama that I took of Just Right's interior.
Looks like you are making real progress. Just add a little paint and your will look like this.

Thanks Justin,
That picture helps to remind me of what is possible. Hopefully this year sets in motion a completed project.

Re: Vg20 finally underway
I have been playing chicken with the weather lately. Either rain or cold has slowed me down a bit.
Started closing up the cockpit area to prepare for gluing on the seats so as to prepare for flipping the hull.
I have assembled plywood to make a locker under the seat with a door to be added.
Some progress has been achieved. Hopefully I can put primer on soon and then paint inside the locker befor gluing seats on.

Re: Vg20 finally underway
How these little changes can slow it down, eh? But how glad we can be when all is done, and those changes are there to make use of. I'm loving popping in different modules for different days and agenda in my little boat. They will keep me busy another year! How true that the boat is never finished. We may be worse than the women and their kitchens and bathrooms? Enjoy those mods.
Keep the pictures coming.

Nice, looks good. I like the ply locker door. Lighter than a plastic one. Working outside must be challenging.

Re: Vg20 finally underway
The weather has fowled up my time schedule, but have made some progress. I finally got a chance to start applying the primer.
My first coat went down good several weeks back, however I found areas I didn't fair good enough so had to go back and use quick fair and then re apply epoxy before I got this coat of primer down. Building the wood structure is one thing but the details envolved before painting is something else all together.
During those rainy days I worked on the locker doors. My plan is to add several coats of epoxy, then attempt to varnish them.
more of the primed area under the cockpit.
