Looks good. I'd open up the scuppers some more. The bigger the better when your trying to get blood and water off the deck. Keep going.

Everything is looking good, I concure with JP on the bigger deck drains/scuppers. They arre wide enough, maybe raise the top by a 1/2" or so, also depends on the transom fittings you will be using.....but the main thing stated is:
Keep going.
Projects of that magnitude require a great deal of persistence. It's easy to get board and be tried of dumping money into it! But as Capt Patrck has said often "the money is in the iron"

Good Luck,

The work looks great. How do you acess the rear bilge pump? I espically like the cabinets behind the glassed in window. Im fabricating my curved pieces right now and after installation we plan on something simmilar.

I hope your doing this for your personal pleasure because history shows you won't get your money back on your investment. Remember it's not a Picaso it a boat and it will be covered in salt water and hopefully fish guts. Get'er done and fish.

I'm very interested in your side vents are they of your own design or can you point me in a direction.

Doug,
Those look like the side vents I installed, Capt Pat's originals.
John, What engines? Are those thru hulls truly accessable in an emergency?
Makes me weary just looking at all you've done. Love to see other choices. Keep us posted
