Here you can see the repair I had to do to the H7 panel when I mounted them on the wrong sides.  Made a lot of extra glassing and smoothing of the joints.

 

Another angle on the rear compartment.  these photos are lower res due to being captured with my CamCorder.

 

This is the small aft floatation chamber between the H2, H4 & Engine Deck panels.  The hole is for a deck plate to allow access to check for water intrusion and get to the engine mount bolts.

 

Another view of the floatation chamber.  Access to the plate will be difficult since it will be surrounded by the skirt.  Inspection of the chamber will be done during the scheduled engine service maintenance.

 

A view of the main rear floatation chambers looking aft, hull inverted.  Also visible are the aft end of the bottom stringers.

 

A view of the bottom and the stringers with all glassing completed.

 

The H8A, H8B & H9 bow panels now completed.

 

A closer view of the H8B panel attached to the wooden nose crossbar.

 

Another view of the rear floatation compartments.

 

And another view of the rear floatation compartments.

 

Looking down the side of the H7 & H9 panels after glassing, trimming and sanding.

 

A straight on view looking at the bow stringers and dash panel.

 

Front quarter view of the bow.  The fore deck is being built with a little higher arch than shown in the plans.

 

Looking along the length of the hull with all the stringers in place.  Note the discontinued center stringer.  I will built a removable hatch over the square area for easy access behind the dash panel.

 

Here's a good view of the dash from the driver's side.  The PVC pipe will be used as a wire conduit between the dash and the engine deck.

 

A view of the rear quarter showing the engine deck with the fan shroud place.  It still needs to be covered with glass.

 

The fillers are installed between the foredeck stringers.

 

Another view of the nose fillers and foredeck stringers.

 

All the foredeck pieces cut, sanded and test fit in place.

 

The dash wiring, steering controls, and other systems will be accessable through a removable hatch in the fore deck.
