Looks great! Lots of room out back. Is your cuddy within the min/max dimension as called out in the plans? Boat looks big for 27’. Nice job

Thanks Todd, the cuddy is within the plans measurements I can't remember off hand exact dimension I used but we have 7'-0 of sleeping surface. The cuddy might look shorter because I pushed the windows forward a bit.

You can resize them before you post, check youtube for videos (resize iphone pics or android pics)

The picture management in Simple Machines Forums is not so great ... but the forums software is free. I usually recommend a max-dimension (height or width) of 1024 pixels, and it helps to edit/save images to force a correct right-side-up orientation specified in the file's EXIF tags.

Fantastic job on the boat! The fairing that you've done is outstanding ... gonna be a pretty boat. Love the big cockpit too ...

Thanks Brian, Been working pretty hard at it. In case anyone is wondering the rub rails are soon to happen. I thought installing the rails after the turn would me a better look at how I wanted them to look and perform against docks.
I went with 7'-0 of sleeping surface 7'-0 of cabin and 7'-0 of fishing deck.

I like the 'slight smile' rubrail option ... old boat builder trick to make it look right no matter the trim.

Nice balanced layout ... I like it a lot.
