Some updates of todays work on my boat.
Its a great feeling to look at the cabin now. The build up face has definetely gone in to another stage.
Started by bringing the bed back in to the cabin.
Then I glued/glassed the stringers with epoxi.
Put the bed back on.
Some weights to make sure all is glued together.
Then some smaller parts that had to be separeted from the bed when we removed it from the cabin was glued back on. Same procedure.

Cabin is more or less done. Will post pics when I have painted some more...
Instead we have been working in the engine room the last couple of days. Not so exiting pics to show. Anyway, you guys can see/follow whats been done lately.
Thanks goes to oso-member "thomas_wallin" for your help in rigging this boat.
Im really greatful about you sharing your knowledge and your expertis.
All 3 trim pumps, sea strainer, oil reservoir, manuel bilge pump etc has been test mounted and removed again.
Engine is out again.
Next step is to glass the sides with the deck in the engine room. Make sure all holes are water tight etc.
Then some paint and after that, put it all back.
