| The seat bases are completed...it's the most fun I've had in a long time!!! (it don't take much, does it???) |
Here's another view of the seat bases. If you look closely, you can see the curve on the bottom that will match the contour from the hull to the deck. | |||||||||||||

| These are a few pictures of the stringers. I widened them one more inch to leave a half inch gap on each side of the fuel tank. As I learned from various websites, there needs to be a small gap here. Otherwise, the gas tank will become an on-board water reseviour due to condensation when the hot hull hits the cooler water upon lauching the boat on a hot summer day. The last time I checked, water doesn't work very well in an engine, so I decided to invest a little more time in this area to make it right. All cross members nailed to the top of the stringers will be removed once the stringers are fiberglassed to the hull. They are only there as temporary supports to keep the stringers parallel. | ||||||||||||||

| These are the original bases for the vinyl covered boat trim. They are seriously in need of replacement, which is one of the current tasks. | Here are some of the vinyl trim pieces and associated padding. The vinyl is in slightly rough shape, but should be able to be saved and reused with a little TLC and elbow grease. | |||||||||||||
