Now everything is finished! Besides installing the seat, and polishing it a bit. The seat is custom built to fit the boat, so it should be here in a week or two. Then it can be taken out for a test run!
The first 3 coats of varnish I brushed on at home, and the last 3 I sprayed on in a Body Shop's spay booth. The hatch straps are very low profile, with no knobs sticking up to hold the straps. The little slits in the deck for the straps were sealed with silicon when the straps were put in.
Also, the bulkheads are now in. The bulkheads separate the front and rear storage compartments from the cockpit. That way if the cockpit fills with water, the rest of the boat will remain water free. The hatches are sealed with weather stripping.
First 3 coats on below, now it heads to the spray shop..
