I'm so excited as the bracket/Dusky Drive has been put on as well as the liner/deck and cap/rubrail. As one can see, the hull is nice and shiny and I can see the reflections in the gelcoat on the bowsides, like a woman looks at her ring, I stare at these pictures/images.
Here is the stern deck. I had posted a sort-of-poll on livewells and while I have had one but never used it, after reading all the replies I had to get one put in and the rectangular hole in the deck will be the livewell. If I don't use it for the livewell or as a livewell I'll use it for my fishbox or for wet storage. I had the stern boxes removed and you can see where they used to be, it looks like they cut them out but I'm sure they will smooth it all out in time. One can see the other two other inspection ports for the bilge and the wiring in the deck as well.
The bow deck. Originally this space was to have a horseshoe-shaped seat in it but I wanted a casting/sunning/sleeping deck like I do on my current boat so I had them glass the entire deck over one height with storage down below. While the hatches are not huge or fancy, so long as I can get to the stuff inside then I'm fine. I also think I can climb inside if it ever comes to it through the ones in the face of the deck/near the floor. I will have to figure out how to keep stuff from moving around and I thought of the bars they use in SUV's or pickup beds that extend much like a shower rod does, maybe I'll even use a shower rod, I'll have to see and if anyone knows of a better way/thing to use I'd love to hear/read about it. There is a glassed in division running down the middle of the deck so the spaces are separated that way but not bow to stern. What do you all think?
