Mike I really love this more and more. I think it will turn out just Finntastic.

PS Mike I think the doors should be more like on Andrews drawing though, what do you think?

Finn, it's beautiful! :applause:

I can't make out the length?

Thats 92 1/8 in length.

Our International Friend Andrew stretched it out to
2440mm which is an entire sheet of normal sized Plywood. Here is a pic of that drawing.

2440 millimeters = 96.0629921 inches

Notice the door also its a bit higher.

there is a flatspot on this also so Im thinking of maybe trying to find a sunroof to install there .. Just dont know the width of one if it will fit or not. :thinking:

Sure would look good though. :thumbsup:

Here is one size roof hatch I found so far its 26 x 20.5cm in size. Most of which are 40 x 40cm :thinking:

I think I will go look in my favorite Marine store for either Lewmar or Bomar Low Profile hatches with smoke glass..or is it plexi..

So please tell me someone. Which type of fenders would this profile look best in? Polished Round or Finnish Made, or Kit or these simple round fiberglass shown on RW Johnson website?

Style?

On this profile we have the most common aluminum fenders found here which a friend of mine told me that they could be polished to a mirror finish.

And these are ones that have been designed and made here in Finland.

Now if it was me . . . .I'd design a unique style fender. Make a model; make a mold of that and fabricate from fibreglass

Very nice too. :thumbsup:

Thank You this does help. :thumbsup:

I want to really make this an impressive tear, to detail and decor.

Been thinking of front windows but maybe I will leave them out on these or this particular one and add sun or moonroof. :thinking:

I've often wondered, what is the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof?
