We got some comments here and there. Of course my boat is just a kayak down there with all the big money yachts etc.

I’d been running minimum insurance til the boat was finished. I had the boat surveyed and now have it insured for the amount of the survey, which is a good bit more than 100k.

We got the acrylic pieces installed. As well as a lot of other things I didn’t take photos of. We should have some good photos from the trip in the coming days.

Did you make or buy these drink holders? I have similar ones in the toon, but I like how you mounted those to the side panel. The look great there.

BYW, that upholstery looks great! Fantastic job on making that boat, "the real deal only better"!
