I thought I'd also like to show my boat, which is currently being build. If you have any questions you can answer;)
50hp engine, and now plan to buy and install the electrical work and furniture in and then look forward to spring when you can go ride. There is still knee-deep in snow;)

Welcome to the forum. There are several people that have asked about the Zip as you have built it. Looks very nice. Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks for sharing your photo's with us.

Its always very interesting to see how people finish their boat. I've seen wood windshield bracket before but never that style. The boat stain you chose is what I was originally thinking of doing myself, but opted for a natural finish in the end. But I have to say I like the dark color. Tinted glass also.. probably not a bad idea considering the amount of glare on the water.

Are the deck-lines black caulking or did you use something else?

Awesome looking Zip. Cant wait to see how you finish out the interior. There have been several questions about utility Zip layouts lately, great to see one done that way as there arent many. Be sure to keep us updated as you finish her up, looks great!
