about to lay up the underside of the hardtop, still need to bed in some pvc board cores for antennas and whatnot



got some work done on the console. still needs a rear panel and enclose the top area. helm section is 2 pieces of 1/2" ply. quarter round section of 4" pvc in the corners.

got some things done this afternoon

underside of the top layed up with pvc board pads glassed in. stupid elbows were thicker than the core so i had to grind em flush, but ended up with holes in the pipe in a couple spots, blue tape just to keep epoxy outa the pipe.



glassed this in too. why the point i dont know, just thought it would look cool..

If you ran the leading edge out about 6" to a point with a little rake and  angle on it you would have a wave break like the NorthWestern   (cue Bon Jovi:  Dead or Alive)

I'm really liking all the bow storage and one level deck. She will be one of a kind

Thumbs up on the single level deck. Great for safety too.

Yea i cant stand having to deal with a stepped deck and its big enough to throw a net off of. More room for stuff between the console and forward too...

Exactly. Lot to be said for throwing a big castnet from a safe venue.  Especially in the ocean.

I'm also a fan of the deck, mostly for the open space.  It would be a similar setup as the CCP.  A certain manufacturer calls that a "Fly Fishing Deck", and having fly fished before in an inshore boat that size, it works well.  That would be a real nice anchor locker too, with plenty of room for rode.

Come on Scott, like you need to throw a cast net more than once ...
