ANOTHER GOOD DAY!
Got my livewell trimmed in braced up and tested the drain. My other livewell didn't drain properly.
Put the first of two layers of my sprayrail on the hull after sanding down to raw glass.
Installed two sole braces, filleted and taped.
Tomorrow I'll epoxy the sole down, glue and tape. Fillets on front and rear cockpit bulkheads. If that dries in time I'll mock up my console. Put on final layer of rubrail.

Sole installed and old 5200, and nonskid sanded off. I know my fillets aren't pretty like some but I'm surely not trying to make them. I'm ready to fish! The deck is rock solid. I used my old deck so thats why you see the inspection plate.
All the livewell is finished up, new hoses and clamps, cleats hold it up at the tops of the bulkheads.
First of two 1/4" layers of my sprayrail are done. When I glue down my frames for my console I'll add my second layer on the rails. They came out with a pretty fair bow, quite pleased.
Well see how close I get to my target look and layout like this boat.

Started on my console today. Geez the thing is big! I didn't think it would end up that large but thats good. Now I can put charts and misc crap in, along with my two batteries. My father gave me what he thought was a mahogany hatch but it ended up being teak:D .... I'll frame in the door tomorrow and do some sanding.
After looking at the pictures and trying to figure out what all would fit in the it. I was going to put my vertical on front of the console, now I'm thinking I will put rod tubes through it which will drain into the bilge if water gets in them. I'll cap the top with some form of shaped mahogany rack.

Had some really good much needed help today from a buddy of mine.
We were able to install my knees (glassed in) for my side deck/gunwale supports and cut out all my templates for the deck mock up. This thing looks so close to a Hells Bay I may get in trouble
I love all the deck space for the casting decks and I can still put a 72 and 102qt ice chest in the sole, if I am to go camping. For good measures we slapped on the poling platform to get scale and see how its going to turn out. VERY HAPPY DAY!

Thanks CBR,
Keep in mind you can have more sole area if your gunwales aren't this wide. I wanted to be able to walk all he way around mine like the PH boats. Those are 10" and taper to the rear. Front deck is 6ft10 i think and rear is the same as it always was at 3ft. I AM LOVIN THIS BOAT more than I did last year already!
