If I'm not mistaken Pete cuts every hull himself for a flat deck.

In this picture the hull is upside down because we were changing the bottom to give the bow more lift. I'm running Arnesons and they do not have the leverage to lift the nose like a #6 does.

The deck piece is on the boat for bonding in place. The bottom of the tunnel extension is installed.

This is absolutely incredible what you guys are building & planing out. Congrats & I am looking forward to seeing future updates!

Looks like you have room for a Heli. pad on the deck

The windshield retainer and deck hatches installed, we put the deck hatches as far back as we could so when we stuff it through waves they will have less of a chance of crushing in.
