Starting on the motorwell now. Mainly as a change of pace from the helm which still needs some more work.

Evan, I do have a running total of parts and materials, however, I have been excessive in my use of epoxy and it also includes quite a few parts that are not going to work out. However, I would say that a boat this size and style will easily cost 20K, even more if you you go with a brand new engine....

Carl Near the beginning of your build you talked a bit about raising the roof for more headroom. What did your actual headroom end up being? Nick Nick, To be honest, way back then I had incorrect ideas about how big the boat was going to be. Furthermore , I was still planning on building the cabin ...

I am going to start working on the motorwell / splash well now that most of the helm work is done. Of course there is more to do on the helm, but until I get the hardware, I want to continue with something else. I also need a change of pace. To get the helm out of the way, I hade to move it back int...

The second photo says a lot about the amount of work needed for a boat of this size. I'm glad your wife is happy to help. And soon, you'll finally be able to see how it works in the water. Exciting times ahead.

Beautiful work as always Neel. I sure am glad you decided to keep building the boat.

Agreed, excellent Tony. Really sharp work. I know that you have been working on this for a long time and I am glad that you are ale to get to this point now. Looking forward to seeing the finished deck after all the cleanup.

Congratulations Nick. It does look big when seeing it this way. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.

Beautiful location. I too would like to go there at some point.

Reminds me of Lake Shasta in Northern California. Giant lake with tremendous scenery.

Hi Alan. I had planned on sizable fender washers on the bottom side of the surface panel (which is 1/2" thick). However, I see what you are getting at and I think that would be a good addition to make to the structure. Thanks for pointing that out. In other news, I've fitted the access panels for th...

Thanks Nick and Martin. Sorry I haven't been online recently. Still working on the helm. Also getting the floor board modifications finished up. The helm is taking far longer than I thought it would at first. But most of the parts except for three access panels (including the instrument panel) are i...

Wow Steve, like other's have said, just awesome and a real testament to persistence on your part. Hopefully it will cool down some there soon.

Sweet! Great work Jim. A lot of effort, but worth it in the end. Looks gorgeous.

Very nice Matt. Every time I go out in the Texas heat, I swear I am going to put in a window air conditioner in my garage. Haven't done it yet because I 'd have to add electrical and a window as well.

Very nice. As a former metal worker, I can very much appreciate the effort that had to go into getting that to conform, Well done!
