I have been working and making some progress on my boat, its close to completion and will try to launch this summer.  Lighting on the helm wiring access is triggered by a magnetic switch on the ground circuit, open and you can see without the use of flash light etc.

Daaaamn!   Fine job throughout.  I would love to snuggle into that Vberth.   The extra touches on the wipers, everything!    Makes me feel like my boat is very utilitarian.  I sure hope I can see it in person some time.

I wish my boat looked as good as yours.  You are the "Master".  Thank you for pushing all of us to build fine boats.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words and support.

Still chugging along making progress, seats are installed.  I have to complete the non-skid on the pilot house and rear deck. Oh, I remodeled the storage compartment to include foot rest storage box's.

Looks a little quite on the forum, I do have seats installed and non skid in Pilot House and Cuddy, I should be able to complete the Non skid on the aft.

Not sure how others installed the HIN tag so I decided to inlay it partially. I was lucky, I did not go thru the glass when inlaying the HIN tag.

Beautiful HIN tag ... how big is it?  I assume you'll epoxy coat the inset and use caulk when screwing the HIN on?  Got a second one to go in a hidden place that only you know?

What a nice job. As I said before, your work makes mine so utilitarian.  I bought a harbor freight stamp set, 5200, and some screws

I have a knack for making things take longer and more difficult than it needs to be.

I would have been fishing by now if...
