Heres a project thread to show you what has been done to my boat so far.
Got the boat from miami and I never actually saw the boat with my own eyes before it got to sweden. A bit of a risky deal so to speak.
Heres a couple of pictures from Miami and then a few pictures when I picked it up a couple of days before christmas 2009.

Yeah, a lot of people have tried to track down the molds but noone has come up with them, basically its a 24x7 bottom with good bit of rocker and a tall deck, the only 24x7 with a tall deck giving it a somewhat useable cabin.

04-12-2010 04:46 PMA small update
Started to install some green ledlights, dont know what this might look like once the engine is installed but I figure I should do it before I installed the engine.
There will be atleast 7 or 8 ledlights installed.
Sorry for the poor quality of the picture but youŽll get the idea.

06-18-2010 05:40 PMI also made some changes to the engine hatch, made it about 40cm longer since I decided to go with standup bolsters in the back.
I also added some support to the hatch by the woodpieces you see in picture #2. More pictures of this will follow. In the last picture I have started to paint the hatch white.
