Making progress. Are you changing the lines of the cabin? It looks like you are moving in the same direction as Bob H.

Tony, The house is done I molded it last year. Similar to Bob H. But different. I had the boat 6 months before I was able to join the board. When I saw bobs boat I was thinking I'm not the only crazy one. I used very little of the original topside only about 6 inches all the way around from the engine boxs forward.

Joe, Looks like your steaming along making some good progress...And yes your not the "only" crazy one in this sandbox..like the head compartment, lots of neat ideas..Are you making molds for these parts or just one offing them as you go? Did you get the fuel tank in ? Your 31 is going to be quite the low rider, like a sedan with a cool windshield...BH

Keep moving forward. I remember when you asked for help getting on. You thought we would throw you off when we saw what you were doing. As you can see some on here are way outside the box.

Thanks Tony, You were a huge help getting me on the board and passing my info to Capt. Pat.
Bob, All one off MDF molds sprayed with a polyester primer and sanded to 1000 grit and polished. I was using a Wax and PVA process but on Capt. Pat's recommendation, I'm switching to a release agent process. Takes a bit longer and more money but you'll get a nicer product. Thanks a million for the gas tank. It's in and fit like a glove. I will get some pics of it on the board on my next go around of updates. I bet you are anxious to splash your boat. Looks amazing!
