Some more work. I have a bit more work to do under the deck but i am getting close to gluing the deck down and glassing. That will be a big milestone and i am getting a little extra motivation knowing that is just around the corner.

I saw earlier you mentioned you're in West Houston. I'd love to see the boat sometime! I am in NW Houston, Cypress area. Hoping to convince the wife to lend me the garage to let me build one of these...

Those cable runs are serious as a heart attack! Great work!
