MiniBago construction progress

Postby GregB » Sat Jan 19, 2008 12:36 pm

It has been too cold to glue lately, but here is what progress I have made on the MiniBago. Yes, she's big, 5' 3" wide by 13' long and overall about 70" high from the ground. The pink foam shows where the bed platform will go. Underneath the bed, bowward, is a storage compartment, 8" high, accessed from the outside, same type of storage aft, behind the wheel wells. Between the wheel wells I am putting a 20 gal. water tank. Between the bed and the bench is a small 5" deep dropped floor. Interior storage for clothing is under the bench. Bow storage includes two batteries, and, in the middle, porta-potti below and petcool above, vented separately. I have a standard 2' deep galley in the stern. Neither the sketch-up design or the construction photos show a fold-up table that will go between the bench and the bed.
The walls, as you can see, are still very much under construction. The wheels are early Vette wheels without the rally caps and were custom powder coated.

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.

Jeff,

Nah, the petcool will be built in over the porta-potti. In the pics I haven't built the shelf that separates them yet.

Elmo,

Thanks. I uhmm, can't be sure but I think the dress was actually less scary than your current avatar.

Jeanette,

I prefer to not say yes, since I suspect that it would become a self-negating prophecy. But there's always hope!
