I'm pumped up today! I got all of my SS elbows for my 2 -1 collectors. I laid them out in autocad and am going to cut them all up this weekend and build them next week. I will add the progress photo's

I've been waiting for this day for quite some time. I had a crane in this morning. It took about 45 minutes to get them from the dollies to the mounts. A bit of adjustment to center onto the shafts and I'll lock them down.
I'm hoping to fire them off in the next couple weeks.

Please write me a comment if you have one.

So here is my bulge ventilation set up. The aft vent is flex from the fan to the bulge. The forward vent is ran through this plastic drain pipe. The stainless steel brackets secure the pipe and the flex fits into the elbows and is held in by the wire in the flex.

New brackets to hold the electrical conduit that I have ran my hydraulic steering lines through. The conduit will keep the hydraulics lines safe from being nicked that will lead to rupture.

It has been a long time again since I have posted again. I have been very busy with my business so the boat and almost everything else has suffered. I've made a little bit of head way and have posted some pictures of my progress.
I'm going to put the engines in, in a couple of weeks then finish the floors.

I'm working on the cockpit floors. It's a lot of cutting and fitting  but it will be worth it. The two sides need to have the fore and aft trim boards  cut them to fit the hull and they will be done. The center section has a fish box under it, it will be hindged in the middle.
I like the way it looking. I need to make another investment in teak, $21 b/f. The deck complete will be about $3k in material alone.

Thanks for looking
