The seats are almost done!
Got the rear boxes made and topped. All seams are either filleted or filleted and taped.
I have the seams taped on one or both sides, mostly both. Chips are from scraping the fillet ridges smooth. I found the neatest scraping tool, with 14 different blades, for scraping paint. I works like a charm on epoxy too.
I need to make the last cover, and I'm done with the seats. They may seem a little high, but I'm gonna use a preformed FG mesh as flooring. The seats will be about 10" high from this flooring. It will rest on the inside chines, allowing drainage to the "bilge" and out the drain hole in the transom. This has yet to be installed. If you look carefully, you can see that the center part of the seats is available for storage. Same with the transom tanks. I have vague thoughts of throwing some sailing stuff (leeboard, rudder and mast) onto the boat and learning how to sail. This isn't a sailing design, but just as well, because it will not move very fast, and I won't bump into anything at speed.
The boat solidified into a respectable shape. Looking to flip and glass in the next couple of days. Hoping to take waterproof version to AT this year, and show it off. I am leaving on the 5th and will return on the 24th, so I only have a couple days to get it going.
