Lots of work, but not a lot of pictures. We got the last section of floor in, and then built the whole bottom part of the live well, rounded the edges of the live well and then glassed it in thick to the transom. We put 3 layers on each of the 4 corners where it ties into the back so that it will support the transom.



We started fitting the deck hatches, they still lack some work, but at least we have them cut out and stuck together. They are 1 inch thick, so we had to stick two 1/2 corecell layers together to make each hatch.



Then we cut the hole between the motor box and the bathroom where the engine will draw fresh clean air. That also helps keep the bathroom air from getting smoky, the engine will cycle the air in there often. We are making a 4 inch fiberglass tube right now and it's drying, but the idea is to connect a hose from the intake turbo to the wall, not just leave a hole there, tomorrow we should have the intake hose connection installed. In the bathroom, we are making a box with holes in it where the motor will suck air from.



And then we started building the fresh air intakes on the side of the hull, they are boxes and then I'll put a blower on one side of the motor to pump air out the side.



And I think I'm going to try to do one more week of work. In one more week, I could have everything glass built and only have fairing left, and probably knock some of that out as well. And I'll be closer!
