Thanks Fernando..

Slowly but surely.   Nonskid is done (except for hatches), rebuilt Porta Bracket on, rubrail fitted...





Dirty



Made this acrylic contraption when it was too cold for anything else





Rubrail really brings out the sheer line



Til I ended up about 5" short     needs the insert too



Anyone have any of this laying around?

Chris that is hole package is lookin mighty fine and the phone booth is the chiz!  Are you going to do something like Scotty did for battery switches on Miss D for easy access?

[dirtwheelsfl]

No, goin inside the console.    Actually the plan right now is to put all the switches (im using circuit breakers) inside the console, except maybe a bilge pump toggle.     I originally popped a flush mount recessed piece to mount the switches on the vertical face of the console right above the door, but i got a lil too excited about the big door access that i cut it too tall and dont have the room for it.   I still might end up doing it there but will have to get creative.   Ive already made a piece to hold all the switches vertically on the inside so ill probably just do that.    The way the door is, its got dogs on the backside so when unlatched it folds down about 1/3 of the way til the dogs catch, which is plenty to reach down and flip a switch.    We'll see...

Top notch, dirt!  Looking great!  Sorry, but no rubrail laying around here.  What type of insert is it going to get?

Its actually a cousin called ipe (e-pay).  I think its Spanish for "tool ruiner" haha.    Gonna do a footrest on the console door out of it too..

Ill get some today.   Its basically the cutout with some flanges glassed on the outside edges.

[dirtwheelsfl]

Heres the door.   The dogs are just some pvc board glued and screwed. Fine tuned to fit.    Don't mind the seasick jigsaw cuts    Might do some kind of take apart hinge if it doesn't work exactly how I want it...

Dirt,
That's OEM for the CCP model console door.

Looks great and you can move it out of the way when working underneath.
No popped hinges from lying on it.

Welp she floats!          Should sit right on her lines with motor n fuel.  hopefully...











Scuppers are out a few inches. 350+ lbs in the stern and they were still high n dry.

Looks great!  How many inches did you raise the deck?

[gran398]

Man oh man!!

Good lookin'! Like the color combo too. And the single Morse is a classic touch.

The pilothouse looks like a factory option.....Great work bro

Beautiful lines. No prettier boat in the water than a 22-2 Aquasport.

Do you remember what you used for the stringer material and where you got it?
