Ok, here's a midday update
This last week we installed all the chases where the hoses/electrical will go. Probably could have been a little neater, but we are kind of excited about putting in floor. We also knocked most of the holes where the water will drain out of the bulkheads, i think we still have two left, but I have to get another bit as the hole saw died. Here are some pictures of the plumbing for all the cables/hoses:
And then here are the first two pieces of floor. These go right next to the motor. There is still some welding i need to do in the back for the rudder and piston, so we are going to do the front part of the boat which is easier. It'll feel nice to get some of the floor in there. The hatches still need some finish work, but we've done several and they look pretty good when we get them finished up. I used to use plastic hatches, but with lots of trips with drunk customers, I need some bulletproof hatches so they don't break. The hatch itself will be 1 inch corecell and they sit in there pretty deep so we don't have problems with them moving or coming up when you don't want them to.
