Thanks OSO people I will post more pictures when i get a chunk of progress done. right now waiting on some power coating for bilge parts, about a week and half worth of work from having the bilge complete so the first motor can be set in. I'll post more pictures before i drop in the 1st motor. the complete cockpit interior, sun pad and some cabin parts are at upholstery shop getting a new look. before too long it should all really start to come together now.
