Yes it's February and I am outside working on the boat, 31 degrees for a high today but the sun helped a bit
Started mocking up a space for some more gauges, a glove box and a flush mounted gps!!
The one for this summer will be made out of lexan or starboard and will be the template for next winters project to replace the windshield With a fiberglass windscreen! Yes I am already planning next years projects
A couple not so good phone pics!

I have followed this thread from the beginning and I have to say, it has been such an encouragement for the little things I have gotten done on mine. Thanks so much for sharing, you have done an awesome job!

Wow, this really motivates me to get back to work on mine!! I am going to be redoing my engine hatch on mine myself!! What wood did you use, and where did you purchase that fiberglass and resin? Thanks

Great site, fast service!
2 layers of biaxial mat on on each side. Once dry I supported the cover on the edges and had me and my buddy (combined weight - 390lbs.) stand on it and it didn't flex at all! Rock solid!!

I used 3/8 plywood for the deck surface and red oak for the frame on the bottom side. I then ordered the biaxial mat and the resin from Fiberglasssite.....http://www.fiberglasssite.com/servlet/StoreFront
