Boat looks good and the humor is always fun. I think you ought to ask for a refund and skip the photography class.

I have one criticism of the boat which you will ultimately likely agree with…and hate me now for saying.

Those hatches on the aft bench area all needed to be on the side. You will constantly be fighting with them. They will get drains plugged and get wet inside unless you get a covered slip. Getting in them will be a hassle around cushions, etc. Side doors always win. My settee is the prime example and I am going to be making some side doors at some point..as it is now, it sucks. Even getting a screwdriver out requires moving two cushions.

Otherwise, the boat looks great and I apologize for being behind the 8 ball on the critique.

Also, if those are battery lockers; they require venting…

Morning All

Dan.
Thanks for your post, not sure I have the energy to change the lockers at the moment but it is a thought for the future.

And come on you know you love my photography skills..... maybe just a course on editing !!!

Cheers, this boat has so many curves ( even those that were meant to be straight :lol: )

So back from a weeks fishing in Holland, a day of rest then back in the shed for the last big push !!!

Cheers

Les
