Yes it's February and I am outside working on the boat, 31 degrees for a high today but the sun helped a bit 
Started mocking up a space for some more gauges, a glove box and a flush mounted gps!!
The one for this summer will be made out of lexan or starboard and will be the template for next winters project to replace the windshield With a fiberglass windscreen! Yes I am already planning next years projects
A couple not so good phone pics!

I have followed this thread from the beginning and I have to say, it has been such an encouragement for the little things I have gotten done on mine. Thanks so much for sharing, you have done an awesome job!

Wow, this really motivates me to get back to work on mine!! I am going to be redoing my engine hatch on mine myself!! What wood did you use, and where did you purchase that fiberglass and resin? Thanks

Great site, fast service!
2 layers of biaxial mat on on each side. Once dry I supported the cover on the edges and had me and my buddy (combined weight - 390lbs.) stand on it and it didn't flex at all! Rock solid!!

I used 3/8 plywood for the deck surface and red oak for the frame on the bottom side. I then ordered the biaxial mat and the resin from Fiberglasssite.....http://www.fiberglasssite.com/servlet/StoreFront

One step closer to the real thing!
Got the test print taped on the boat today. The colors are not quite right because it is just printed on paper but you get the basic idea! Once I come back from havasu I hope to start printing the real thing!
