CF numbers installed on the bow, rubrails cut,fit, drilled and installed (with 3M 5200) on starboard side. Cut, drilled and fit on the port side. Still need to glue.
GPS and VHF radio antennas installed and wired. Port and Starboard nav lights installed, and half wired.
Decided to cut the center deck between the wheelhouse and the splashwell into three panels. Glued, filleted and taped the two side panels. Strengthened the center post that runs the length of the center panel. Am leaving this open for another fuel tank. I know I'll need it. Just a matter of when.
Varnished the dashboard handrail, put a coat of epoxy on the cuddy arc piece and installed the hand rail. It's not going anywhere with all those screws. And yep I like the visible hardware.
