This is a fantastic build. I really admire your skills and energy. After this, I hope you will be content to actually just use the boat!

On the motor hatch, what did you use for a core?

I see you are going to paint the boat. I can't argue with that but is there any reason why you are not going to gelcoat it? Is gelcoat durable if applied as a coating as opposed to molded in during layup?

Thanks and keep up the wonderful work. You will have a one off boat better than you could ever purchase.

Thank you so much, everyone's comments and support are what pushes me and keeps me going. I always wanted a outer limits, but I can't afford that so I just had to build one to their caliber myself. we used 1' davina seal foam core with vinyl ester reason On the motor hatch and it only weighs a woping 60lbs. i am painting the boat because of the multi color graphics you cant do that with gel and not have lines in it. And i Intend to use the sh1t out of my boat. i really want to start doing poker run and fun runs. i never felt like i had a nice enuff boat before to dock beside a MTI cig, or outer limits, so now i hope mine can hang with them and stand to there caliber and Beauty. and when it is done if im not working ill be on the boat:lolhit: thanks again.

Silver and White color for sure, 60lbs for that hatch is AWESOME! Question, why did you incorporate the headrests into the hatch, and not cut out the three places in order to put a vinyl covered pad in each location?

thanx
