We have formed the cockpit and combing. The front fairing is getting closer to the final shape.
This week we stopped at a store in Oriental called Marine Consignment.
It is a great old shop with a crazy collection of nautical parts. There are a lot of sailboat parts and various odd items. One thing they have new this week is a bubble glass cockpit that was ejected off a fighter jet. This was pulled from the Neuse river and was probably last airborne in the 1960's
I will try to get a photo of it to post this week.
We also found some bits for the hydro.....
 |
| The hydro is about 14 feet LOA. We will pull out the tape and check it after all fairing is completed. |
 |
| A great wheel... |
 |
| A great seat... |
 |
| Stainless u bolts for the transom... |
 |
| a bow eye... |
 |
| The transom is a lamination of three pieces of 1/2 inch birch ply. When we are done, it will be glass sheathed, faired and painted. The u bolts will be set high and wide on the transom for pulling skiers and for any hoisting and securing needs. |
