whew! Man you can get a lot done in an 8 hour day. I got the mahogany stain on and a coat of epoxy on the floor. Also put the deck beams on and epoxy them. I will be going to the lumber store tomorrow to look for a nice piece for the dash. Im hopping to have the boat completed by the end of January. Thats my goal anyway :D

More progress on the boat today. Got the dash and seat frame in today. I might have to move the seat back a few inches. I sat in it, and it was a little tight. But I guess its going to be a little tight, it is a smaller boat :)

Just an update on my squirt. Got the deck on. And put some stripes and paint on it. The deck is about 90% done. Still have to trim it out and put the hardware on. Its not as flawless as some of the boats on here, but not to bad. :D

Just another small update. Put the steering in, and got the lights wired. Next I will be getting some vinyl for the bench seating.
