Went by the boat and managed to get a few pictures:

I had laid finishing cloth over the heavier cloth when I glassed the floor originally so the floor turned out very smooth and will need minimal sanding/ fairing. However I did have to sand the middle seam and the edges where they tab into the sides:








The console is coming together as well, needs quite a bit of rounding and fairing but my friend Jeff did me a favor and worked on it a little while I haven't been around:





I also stared to lay out where the bracket will fit. I had to fill some holes and do some fairing in the stern first though. I'm thinking I will mount it about 3" lower than the pictures show. When I go to mount it, a neighbor has a forklift we are planning to lift the motor, while attached to the bracket, to the stern and mount it all at once. In the pictures, the bottom of the bracket it about 6.5" above the bottom of the boat, I'm planning for it to be about 3 -4" from the bottom. We'll see how it all pans out.







I was hoping to get out and get some work done this weekend, but the forecast is calling for showers both saturday and sunday. I'll need a few hands to get the topdeck set back on the hull too.
