Cabin sole...

T





Two cabin sole panels are being fitted here.















The cabin sole panels need to be supported from below.














The cabin sole panel supports are finished and the panels are ready to be skinned.
















More progress on the motor well.




There are three web frames that support the upper hull and deck panels.  Here the two forward frames are being dry fitted.

The next pieces to be added will be the #3 hull strakes.

More Motor Well & Longitudinals...










More views of motor well parts being fitted.











The longitudinals have been trimmed to fit.  They are "skinned" on both sides with fiberglass cloth and epoxy on the table.












After sanding, the longitudinals are glued in place.



























Fillets are made from epoxy thickened to the consistency of peanut butter with fillers.  The thickened epoxy is placed inside a quart sized plastic ziploc bag with one corner cut off and squeezed into the corners where the panels intersect.  A rounded stick smoothes the fillets.
