Hi,

Sorry for lacking updates. Boat is almost done (for the first stage). But I will post some images of the works.

Here I'm working on side "panels" of the boat. I added small frames, with holes in them to allow cables run through those. In the holes I added tubes. Then I closed the sides and filled with floating foam.
There are also speakers (4 in total) on the side panels.

Hi,

For the anchor locker on the forward deck I cut triangular opening. There's a wide opening to open it and to run rope through the opening. Inside the locker has 3 hooks to hang the ropes. For water I added a tube to the bottom, through the front seat (that's full of floating foam) and to the open space in bow. That leads the water to the bilge under the back seat, eventually. That are will have another post.

Now the images:

Hi,

Another post about the build. Now the aft part of the boat. Backrest of the back seat, there's only 1cm distance to motor, when motor is lifted up. So, just fits. Also, out of pictures, in the back seat storage, on the sides I can fit one 22 liter gas tank each. And the space is just fit for those, not even 5mm extra. :)
Images about solar panel are from this summer, I mounted the panel behind the backseat, on a TV swiveling wall mount. That has controller and small battery under the co-pilot seat. That battery runs just one bilge pump, which has automatic switch. -> Sun pumps all the rain water out.

Hi,

Now finally comes the last post of history.
Last summer the boat was almost done, except the painting on the inside, it had only base paint.
This summer I have mounted all the gauges to the dashboard. Navigation lights were installed also.

Some things to still do:
Install rest of the hinges, install venting grills to all storage compartments, tidy the cables and fix some painting issues. i.e. not much. I should boat ready in one week.

So, boat is "ready", wind screens are missing (I have bended those already) and then I will built a door between the consoles... Maybe then.
