Inside faired and starting with the primer. We painted the compartments before gluing down the seat tops. The plan is to have her finished by the end of this month.
These are bocks of buoyancy foam glued down in the mid seat for flotation.
This is the sides with quick fair applied. We will give the outside of this boat a top notch finish, the inside will be "work boat" level.....

We bought them. They are handy to have - but totally impossible to ship! They break and gouge even with fragile handling. If we tried to ship them they would arrive in crumbs.On those foam blocks in the mid seat, they look finished and painted in the picture of the painted compartments. How did you finish them? Also, how did you cast them?

As long as you don't touch the cleats.
That hatch came from the Aquasport and fits tightly.

I think I'll try to come up with a way to put a hatch in mine as well. I still need to fair the bottom after putting on the rub rail.
I need to take a weekend off of work so I can really get something done on the boat.
You guys (Jacques/Joel) should make your way over to my area when the seas are good for an offshore fishing trip. I would love to try and put you on some good bottom fish.
