Got the switches in today and the auto bilge pump in yesterday?Tomorrow going to get the wood and this weekend gonna get all the pieces cut to fit and seat bases made. Next weekend going to pick up the truck since the weather ain?t going to be great for laying fiberglass?. But the following weekend we should be good to go with it. I?m just glad it runs decent and grateful for great friends that have helped out along the way and able to use the shop and park it while I work on it.

Nice progress. Just a suggestion here. Both of your fuel tanks are not fastened to, or book ended by gunnel supports. When tanks are only fiberglassed in, usually the fiberglass runs multiple vertical fiberglass straps where the glass is adhered to the gunnel above the tanks, over the top and down to the floor. The glass will have some bite into the tanks also. Looks like the glass is popped loose the way it is. You may want to consider structurally bracing in those tanks while you have the boat torn down this far. Keep up the good work.
