Finally got the roof ready today ( working outside when weather peremits as it won't fit in the shop with the boat taking up all the floor space )
Now waiting for my "Strongarm" neighbour to come home on the weekend to get it up on the cabin. (just can't get it up the way I used to :lol:

)

Hi Carlos; Great to hear from you!
Sounds like everything is going to plan for you....that's great

Let's get some pictures of Carica.

Still planning to launch later this month.

Well, didn't make the launch in June as I had hoped.

However, things are looking good. The interior is almost finished and I got some anti-fouling paint on the aft half today. Once that sets up I'll switch to the fore section.
Got the bunks on the trailer also today. Still needs wiring and brakes, but not certain of axle location yet.
Tomorrow will be priming cockpit and foredeck soles/decks before applying non-skid. Nason two part poly is incredibly smooth (except where the flies are imbedded) so non-skid is neccessary.
Putting together the main cabin door so I can move her out of the shop into the daylight at last. Will post some pics when I get her out.
Sure be glad when these long days are over. :lol:

Well big day today as the butterfly comes out of her cocoon. We are very pleased with the results and everything came out as we hoped. Still lots to do (wiring must be completed before the surveyor gets here Friday...so some more long days to follow

)
Better pics to follow next week.

Thanks for all the compliments;
We were gearing up fot launch on thursday ( that means me working from 6am to 9pm for several days :shock:

) so I fired her up last night and everything sounded great till I kicked her into gear. She shook so bad everything rattled....oh oh..somethings out of balance.
So...launch postponed till next week
Went looking for the problem this aft and dismantled the drive train...still there.
Phoned a friend and he suggested I lubricate the stern bearing...problem solved.
Great to have friends like that
