Updates are coming. just got back from myrtle beach and off to Vegas next week, so its slow right now.
Stringers in and half are tabbed in, i'm building some cool looking seats for it, the transom is half glassed in and used some carbon fiber to give it some extra strength. also starting on closing in the engine well at the back.

some pictures from two weeks ago, i'll get some more pictures tomorrow

I used some black epoxy tint, which works very well, to well. it made a mess from the drips off my brush, but I soon corrected that with some drop sheets later on,
the transom is complete and built, I am soon going to finish glassing in the splash-well and re fiberglass the rear deck onto the boat.

the gauge set is just a standard mercury gauge set but with a 100 mph speedo, got it for cost around 250 bucks for all 6 gauges.

I had a old steering wheel that was just solid foam but was in good shape, so i covered it in Hexis alligator skin vehicle wrap, i think it looks fairly nice!
