Now a intensive period started with normal work in the weeks and working on the boat in the weekends, with a goal to get the boat ready by Mid-summer.
The hull was ready, but there were a lot to be done in a relatively short time. The steering consoles, wind shields, back bench and all technology. Steering and fuel system, electronics, engine.
Under the back bench you have the compartment for the fuel tank. To keep this compartment as dry as possible the bench need to be made water tight both for water on the floor and for rain.
The designing of the steering consoles and the wind shield was the most difficult part of the project. The reason was that it is really difficult to visualize these parts and at the same time ensure the functionality.
After the first parts were mounted it was just to continue gluing one part after another and see the result after that.
Last part to put together was the door.
After this there was some varnishing to be made. The whole hull is epoxy treated and for the surface I used Double Coat UV A two component PU varnish that was easy to roll out and the result was pretty good.
Now the boat was ready to move to next location where I got some help with installing all the electronics and other stuff.
