Attached seats tonight.

Compartments foamed. Working on the deck support/ cabin arch. Finn's helping as always!

Drilled the thru-hulls yesterday. Seats and deck getting glass.

Finn and I had a big week. Seat tops are all cut out and the deck got a preliminary fitting. I am hoping to get it all installed and glassed in next week and so I can start working on the cabin top.

Working hard this week cutting out cabin supports and seats. Hoping to get the cabin built before the end of the year.

We finally got her flipped! Fun night. Neighbors helped. We rehydrated with margaritas after all of our hard work.

Keels painted. Just needs a few days to cure. Then we got to rally the troops for the flip!

Took a break between coats of paint to to work on a few side projects for the Huckleberry...

The first is a water cannon. Its constructed of PVC and coated with spray-on truck bed liner (the cheap type from Home Depot in a spray can). It will be powered by a raw water washdown pump using a thru-hull under the seat. I am still working out details of the mechanism for aiming the cannon, but it will likely utilize a tiller handle under the front deck.

The other addition is a trumpet style horn, which will be mounted on top of the pilot house. I am hoping to build a mechanism that allows it to be triggered via a pull cord handing from the cabin top. I really wanted the double horn, but felt 150dB was a little excessive. This one only puts out 115dB which should be more than enough to alert the neighbors!
