last week...I went to DMV...to find out what I have to do to register my tugg..I got all the paperwork...had to call fl. fish and wildlife...because its over 16 ft..they have to visually inspect it...view some of my invoices...see construction photos, etc......The fellow said..." I have never inspected a new build, with as much documentation as I have" he was amazed....within 20 minutes...I had their inspection report to take to DMV...along with the DMV paperwork....and I can get a hull #....and tittle.....makes it all worth it....

I have epoxy and cloth for the cabin roof....however at 85-90 degrees...it may be too hot to attempt to apply it......it may have to wait.....putting me behind schedule.....
I also ordered 2 sheets of 3/8 marine ply...to finish the cabin back wall...and was advised it now comes out of Orlando...so will not be here until next week...another set back....
I wanted the cabin top all done this week.....
I worked on the dash today....

today...my wonderful wife, Linda....went to the shop with me @ 4:35 AM...while it was a little cooler......I was all ready....she mixed the epoxy..while I applied it to the roof....3 coats.....because of the lg. surface..I had to seam the cloth......late this afternoon I sanded the seam down, and prepped it for another coat or two of epoxy......Tomorrow AM...Again !!!!
I want to get the roof finished in order to move on to other projects, like finishing the dash, painting the interior, installing the 3 speed roof fan,wiring etc....there's still lots to do!!!!
