Well done - and so glad It finaly ended up in the club and good hands - are you going to run it with the original race engine?

There is still a very long way to go, with fairing, filling, painting and trimming, but the basic work is done.

We shall call her "Felony" cos I can't afford "Misdemeanor".

The bubble is not the same shape as the original. I have made it a bit taller so that I can get the instruments between the deck and the bubble. Seems to work OK.

Very nice John - you're lucky was caught in time; there might have been further horrors visited upon it.

Looking good JB, I still think the knotty pine was more 'you' though. :giggle:

Can't wait to see her on the water. :thumbsup:
