Use to go there as well back than when my old man had is 28 Cig. The hardware and women that were there was second to none. You use to see all the big hitters there. Those sure where the days but unfortunately after hurricane Andrew in 92 they never rebuilt it. Ever since than until today is still just empty land.
I would take girls out there on the weekend,go to the bar ,come back to the boat,,get lucky and never leave the slip..Those were the days..

Dash panel. We made this out of plexiglass. Fitting it up to ensure it fits as we sand and shape the dash. Next week the Tambour door comes in from Tap-ease. Will be interesting to fabricate tracks and jigs to fit it in the roof. See how it goes.....

Why are you making the hatches out of wood (To be glassed over I guess) They look pretty good. I would think with your abilities you would just make a set of one-off molds and lay up with a minimal core. Would net you a 1/3 the weight. As far as the vents, I would use sheet aluminum 3/16, punch your vent holes or slots and powdercoat.

My 37' Midnight did 70 all day long with HP 500's. I would think it's heavier than your 37. The tradeoff being that you are running though transmissions and SSM's. I had Bravos on mine. Still 65 should be attainable with this power.
