New Panel Arrived Today, This Time Undamaged.

Since the boat is on the hard, this is what I use for my land based adventuring. If I could just fit the motorcycle in the boat...

Working on a prototype for my new light fixtures. A little sanding, round over the edge and a few coats of varnish and they'll be awesome!

Re-core continues at a snails pace.

One of my favorite Youtube channels

Once all the panels were trimmed to fit, i held them all together with some fence boards so i could remove the wall in one piece. Now I need to fiberglass the inside of the wall before reinstalling it permanently.

Hmm, works hard for no pay....what's this Tom doing for the next few months? I'll pay him double! Lol

Deck off 😢

Special thanks to Tom Shaw for all his unpaid hard work!

Working on light placement. I think four will be plenty over the dinette table. So much brighter than the old single one, and being LEDs, half the amps!

Once the teak was all removed and deck cleaned up, the top layer of fiberglass is cut off and rotten core scraped out. Then the lower layer of glass is sanded with 40 grit and new marine ply epoxied in place. The ply was cut using the top layer I cut off as a template. Next up, the top layer will get epoxied back on, then all the seams get glassed using 4 or 6" fiberglass tape.

The weather is not cooperating for outside the boat work. Condensation on the tarp means it's basically raining INSIDE the tent. Moving work to the inside of the boat for now...which is needed desperately! I've been neglecting the inside too long. Time for some clean-up before deciding what project to work on. Wiring? Fuel lines and mounting new tank? So much to do...
