Slow progress so far

About 80% completed console

Strong back built. It’s square. I guess it’s the lumber but it’s not consistently level. I’ll probably level the frames with a laser and build off the strong back.

Great work on the Console Edd! Is that going to be hydraulic or cable steering?
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

I suspected based on the amount of room and angle of the wheel. The cable version doesn't like to bend very much.

Build On!

That's a great price for a hydraulic steering system!
