Thanks man, then on to the stringers, and under bow space.

Whatcha got planned for under the bow?

Whatcha got planned for under the bow?

Instead of narrow ski locker typical SS have I am doing a much bigger space with a door, fully carpeted, mostly for storage and life vests.

 

[Longstr]

I purposely left the sharpie line on my fiberglass mat on this box so you could see the overlap between coats; for anyone that is following this and is curious.

One more from the back

Looks great Ryan!

I find it amazing that in just a few weeks, you've managed to make more progress on your boat than some fellers have in the last three or so years! To top it off you have a wife and a small kid....impressive bro!

Thanks guys the trick is, every night when wife and kids go to bet I am in garage working for an hour or two. Less sleep for me but momma isn't mad I am not spending family time with them.

Good thing you have a garage.  For me wish I could but I think the neighbors would be upset with me grinding on my boat at 3am outside their bedroom window while shining my 1000 watt floodlights in the area.  I can't wait until I can get some land and space to work on the boats.

looks like a JE in it now,  you can just up grade that with a G bowl,  Or a C bowl,  but if you really want to spend the money,  nows the time,  personally I'd up grade the JE pump and keep the cleanout outside the boat,  but that me :smile17:
