Well, I have been still working on the boat... I have to thank ItsPeanut for Grinding out the mid ship bulk heads on his last day in WI before heading back to FLA... That gave me a good head start on the front bulkheads.. That was before the holidays. Sometime in January, My pops and good bro brought up my next project. As peanut said above, its been hands off on that till the apache is done....

I hear ya on that... I would love to be running in that!!

Well back to the project, Some point In Jan. I got the front bulk heads out...

[J-Bonz]

A few more pics of my next projec.....
Next it was back to arts & craft.... I made all the templetes for the front bulkheads.. Ang came out but was painting sea shells... Thats another project all in its own...

[insanity]

Cool. Coming right along. Do you have any idea how thick the coring in the hull sides is?

[J-Bonz]

Still making templates... Ang took some action shots.............

[J-Bonz]

Time to cut some wood and get them fitted............. Also started to cut some glass...

[J-Bonz]

Well, at this point it was a saturday and it was time to bond them in.. We didnt get out of there until 2:30 am... We did get some help from my buddy Larry that lives next door. He's a great guy and has given me help whenever I needed a third hand...

[J-Bonz]

Still bonding...... Oh what joy that was.. Befer we laid the glass the next day, Ang left here mark....

[J-Bonz]

With a little amount of sleep and a fresh day in front of us we started glass. Ang was rocking on wetting out. She had everything ready when I needed it. Even with all here help, we didnt get out of there until Midnight on a Sunday.... Lets just say work on Monday was a blast!!

[J-Bonz]

The following week Ang had to take a break... I think she had enough fun glassing so I was all on my own for the remaining 4 pieces I had cut and ready to install... This is pretty much how it sits now. I have started to cut the rear bulkheads out that connect to the hull. I also spent alot of time prepping the cockpit to be re installed in the boat. I just need to figure out how I will fill in the old outboard well........... Glass Dave........... Your phones ringing..............

No, I didt make a mistake when drilling and cutting yet......
