If u built the deck on the outside ,,,how in the hell is it going to fit the hull ?????
Why would u not just sand everything nice and smooth ,,wax it and built a mold from that ?
Then pop it off and built your deck out of the mold ?!
So u can safe the mold and built more for other peopple and make money ?!!!!!!!!!

2) I see this as a driveable prototype "plug"... if things turn out well I might consider building a 2-4 piece traditional mold around it, for reproduction purposes... Still a lot of testing and evaluation before we reach that point.

Yepp, I also think the cowl is a mean looking little monster, still with some kind of Merc factory appeal...

looks good and keep the pics coming. You know we love seeing progress pics. I am a little curious of your method to but judging by your finish work and obvious effort put into the great styling I'm sure you have it figured out. Quick tip to help your final finish. From earlier posts i am assuming you are laminating over the top of this running plug? If you are not bagging drop a layer of peel ply on top the final laminate and it will help give you smoother finish to fair out without all rough glass. (thanks for the original tip Sparky )

Well, anyone interested in the pics, from start up to current status? how everything was built? If so, I can upload the entire process...

Hold ypur breath, here comes the process...
As you can see, there is an gradual evolution of the lines and proportions, towards more sleek and slender...
