Hi Guys,
Some more updates.
I was planning on cutting and fitting the fiber in the cabin area this weekend. This, so I can finalize the final glassing without any distubance when I get started...
However I ran out of fiber much earlier than expected.
This is as far as I got. Picture doesnt show all fiber though.
So after the cutting I sort of finalized the web...
It had some air bubbles in it. Some sanding and after that some more glassing. Now I feel I have to be "happy" with the end result. Sorry for bad quality of the picture.
I did some more minor glassing. Not worth showing with a picture though.

Got some help this saturday with the boat. Great!
Now all fiber is cut and the first glassing in the cabin is done.
Hopefully by next weekend we are done with this part.
Then its out of the garage for mounting the engine...
Aprox 250 pcs of fiber to keep track of...

Now they are all in place.
Feels solid. Nice
And now to the last part of the cabin area.
I will glue/glass the hull sides to the deck. It already is glassed together but only on 2-3 spots on each side.
I startet to clean off the old glue that was used to "dress" the cabin.

Yesterday we mounted the lift that we will use for the alignment of the engine. The road is long but we take it step by step. The engine is hanging at the back (outside 
)of the boat now. Hopefully in the near future we will start to align...

Might as well show you the last glassing of the floor in the cabin. Perhaps in the future I will make the floor horizontal using these 2 stringers? It depends on what the rest of tha family says about jumping over these 2.
After this picture I will only post pictures one more time of the glassing in the cabin area. Promiss.

Hey where are you Banana guys?
Anyway, the engine is now in the engine room.
It was a tight squeeze... Had to twist it to get it down.
Bare in mind that pics just show preps for the alignment.
When this is done and all pumps etc has its place in the engine room I will take it all out.
Then I will paint the engine room and make it all look real nice.
