Working on Seat Box's again, box's are 10" tall and I need to make a 6-7" platform to go in front of these box's.  Scared to commit just yet because I need to figure out my helm layout.

Bob, I agree it was hard to figure out seat height without at the very least a steering wheel. I went ahead and bought it all, wheel, power steering and cables. Mocked it up and then built my boxes. Looking great. Getting fun.

Making a bit of progess,  I glassed the rear sheer decks with 2 layers of glass yesterday and put on a fill coat this morning.  Up till 11:30 again last night, I am worn down so going to take it easy today.

It's coming together SWEETLY!!  Your design decisions are turning out great, and you're doing Bristol work! (not that Palin kind of bar-fight bristol .. the GOOD kind instead!)

Still doing baby steps but I applied fairing compound and will start working on helm and seating while it hardens enough to sand:
Not looking forward to sanding with sore ribs.

Whole Lotta Sanding going On!

Not much to show but I figured I would post, starboard side is faired as well as the sheer decks maybe get the port side faired by tomorrow night.  Still working during the day and sanding 2-3 hours in the evening which is about all I can do with these sore ribs..

Taking tonight off, ribs are a little sore from too much sanding...

Need to take it easy,   sob.

I will do less physical boat projects for a few days, still have seat boxes to glue down, and helm work. 

Thanks for the kind words!

Whole lotta nothing happening fast here.

Ordered the hydraulic steering and ready to mock that up and in the meantime I have nearly completed the helm, glove box, chase for fuel fill and compartments in front of seating.
