Nova Marine 24 CC Update....finally......
 

Wasnt going to post pics till it was done. (Call me superstitous) Last time I did...well, lets just say my life got chaotic. (Mildly)
But, today was a great day and things are going to start really moving quickly now, so what the heck.
We shot the White Primer over the Yellow High Build on the cap & around the hullsides, and oh my God...am I stoked.
The engine box (3rd pic) & console are about done. Box just needs some final fairing and a water channel, and the console some final coring inside.
There's been a few change of plans. The air vents....& I still havent decided on self-bailing or not. The mystery is: how she's going to sit in the water.
Stay tuned!

Depth & reflectivity = Progress.
Console was a few weeks back, hullsides this weekend.
Apologies for the picture's lighting & background, it is atrocious. She was on her way out of the booth before I could get a pic. At least she doesnt blend in to her surroundings anymore over in a storage building.

More paint...more progress...Coming together now.
