June 6th, 2006 - Tuesday

I guess it's been a while since I updated the log.  Last week was spent in Alaska on a cruise so two weekends were used up right there.    However, here are some pictures to update the status.  In the first picture, I show the cabin that is almost complete.  There is still trim work to do and I have to finish the top edge over the front windshield.  The gap isn't visible in this picture.  In the second picture, I show how I edged the mahogany plywood with a strip of solid wood.  This should stain very nicely.  Around the windows, I used solid mahogany to frame the acrylic.  In the third picture, I show another 3/4" piece of plywood fitted over the transom.  This is to accommodate the 115hp motor.  The Last picture is what I installed tonight.  These are the side panels for the motor well.  I'm still working out the dimensions of the rest of the well based on the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards.
