Late March through May 2007
Making Progress
March 24, 2007

I filled the hull with USCG
approved urethane pour
foam.  Theoretically, there is
enough foam to fill the boat
full of water and it still float.  

Hopefully I will never need to
test the theory.

Here you see the floor
installed and two coats of
epoxy applied.  The foam fill is
underneath the plywood floor.

The Motorwell is coming
along.  Finishing it will be the
final stage before launch.

What you see is African Teak
and African Mahogany edge
glued to form a nice pattern.

No, this wood was not part of
my "free" wood but I have long
since given up on trying to
save money on the project!
