-Traditional- is good for me. I just wish I could order one, the way you are doing the new deck sounds like it would match the hood one my new truck!

Nice! So the top portion is the "plug" and the bottom portion is the mold you will use to make the actual deck correct?
On a side note AT is a privately owned company, right? Ever consider going public, I'd like to buy stock in the company! Or would it be to much of a hassle?

Here's the easiest way I can give you an example. Hopefully this won't show my age too much: When you were a kid do you remember making a plaster model of your hand in grade school for your folks? They would take a small plate or bowl and fill it with plaster and you would press your hand into it and wait a few minutes while it dried? Pull your hand our and there was an imprint of your hand?
Your hand was the plug. The plaster dish is the mold. You could fill the mold with a material, pull it out and there would be your hand! Kinda same as a boat.

Looking great, glad to see progress! My dream 29 would have twin eggbeaters but would miss the sunpad and the look of a bolt on swim platform so I'm torn about ditchin the single big block power.

The top part (white) will be cut and lengthened, faired, gelled and become the the new deck plug for the new 29 model. Then a mold will be taken from that which will become the new 29 deck. Then the actual 29 deck will be pulled from that new mold. That's why boats are so expensive, basically have to build two boats prior to being able to layup and pull the first actual boat..
