 Doing some more dry fitting today. Set up the steering and binnacle. Fine tuned and routered starboard hatch cover. Just a little to damp for me to lay glass today.

 So I decided that I've built everything else on this boat then why not build my own switch panel. Well here it is,made out of aluminum its gonna primed with aluminum primer and epoxy primed and then finish painted white. I also cut the hole out for my tach gauge  Here's how my console will be setup unless I make an electronics box for the t-top. I prefer to keep all electronics close to the power source for maintenance and wiring purposes. Last edited by Kracker Jack; 03-02-2013 at 05:55 PM.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I told myself in the beggining this boat was gonna based off simplicity and function with minimal creature comforts. I bought all 6 of my switches on eBay for 8 dollars delivered to my door.

I sold my t-top yesterday, I sold for 50 dollars more than what I paid for it so im in good shape. The top just wasnt what I was looking for anymore. Plus its one less thing I have to work on at this point. Im gonna be picking up 3 more gallons of resin on Friday and some more 1708 to glass over the covering boards/gunwales. I just cant wait till this glass work is over. Switched all the wood accents over to mahoghony and fabricated the steering wheel base and outrigger bases.

I did some gelcoat yesterday. I dont understand the big hub bub about applying gelcoat? I did the easiest of application by rolling it. After consulting with my supply house they said simply apply 3 coats with pre waxed gelcoat they said like waxed resin you can apply second and third coat wet on wet with out sanding. I gelcoated my anchor rope locker and some other hard to reach areas that cant be painted once cap ply is glued. will have pics up later.
