We've been working away at the boat over the winter but haven't much to show so far

1. We've been working away at the boat over the winter but haven't much to show so far. Work on the cockpit continues. Over the next few weeks, we'll be laminating several layers of.100" veneer over the carlings. This will give a nice smooth radius to the inside corners. Click here to see how it was done.

2–3. We fabricated a custom support bracket for the remote dual oil filters.

4. A bulkhead fitting connects the bracket to the oil filter head assembly.

5. The two holes on the right of the photo mount to the v-drive mounting plate.

Carlings and trim: We've been working away at the boat over the winter but haven't had much to show so far

We've been working away at the boat over the winter but haven't had much to show so far. Over the next several weeks, we'll be laminating two layers of.100" veneer over the carlings.

1–2. We ran 6" strips of 1/8" marine grade plywood through the planer to produce.100" veneer.

3. First lamination at Port gunwale clamped.
