Thanks Will! Your build looks like its moving along too! Are you planning on keeping the polished swirl look?

Rod, I'll keep updating as much as I can! Not a whole lot to report on today. Last night I got the the the front sanded and primered, and also got the screws holes on the sides puttied, sanded, and primered. Should be ready for paint by the weekend!

I did order the snaps for the removable top... they should be here tomorrow. Just have to go get the marine vinyl and the screen mesh for the roof. Also need to pick up some wood for the galley/interior shelves.

Like Paul said, its supposed to be nice around the NJ/PA/MD area this weekend! Hope everyone else can enjoy the nice weather too!

You had better believe we are keeping the swirls. Done with both sides and starting to wish I had spent the extra for painted aluminum! OH WELL :lol: It'll be the only one on the block Will

Maybe I am!! :twisted:


Jessica and I went flower shopping last night, but when we got home around 9 I decided to test fit the galley hatch. When I first assembled the hatch it seemed like I was going to have an issue with spring-back. That was before I painted it. It seems like the primer relaxed the wood enough to have no spring-back!!

It does still need a little adjustment at the bottom, but here she is...

Looking sweet there! :thumbsup:

Did you find the 3-point latch for your hatch?

Not yet.... havent really looked very hard. I was browsing through Lowes tonight while picking up some mulch, but they dont have anything of the sort.

I'll probably end up ordering it from the internet. I did recieve my snaps in the mail today! Maybe work on the top can start next week!

Also, I started actually fitting the hatch tonight. I originally thought that building it was a PITA, but I have come to realize getting it to align right is an even bigger PITA! I am pretty sure I have it in place now, but dont have the right screws to attach the hinge. I'll stop at Lowes on the way home tomorrow and pick some up.
