The Glasspar Looks like a boat again!

I've joined the hull and deck, finally. That was a LOT of riveting. I had to drill new holes for a lot of it- some of the old ones were enlarged, and didn't line up EXACTLY. But, it all went together pretty well. I did have to make a few adjustments here and there.

Hardware goes on next, I've had it all polished and ready for a while now.

Work has been S-L-O-W recently, actually it came to a dead stop for about 2 months, since I was working 70-80 hours a week. I decided that enough was enough, and I quit that job... Looks like I'll be going back to 'sea' in the near future anyway, so I needed some time off!

Now, I've just to to get the seats done, wiring, motor.... Hmmm, I though I was close

Almost all the trim is on now, except for the transom area, where I've still got to do some work on the structure underneath the rear seating area/splashwell. I also put the rubrail insert in, too-

The windshield needs to go on, and then I've got to build & upholster seats.

I'm happy with the paint job, too- Even more so now than after I first finished it. It has finished curing, and is super hard, with a great gloss. It looks like gel-coat, It's tough to tell that it's ever been painted, and I think that is what I was trying to accomplish!

Hopefully, I'll be able to get the motor running, and I'll actually be able to use it
