We use charcoal respirators when spraying any liquid and particle masks for particulates in the air, also we have a fan blowing across the area to keep the crap out of our faces as much as possible. As you can tell it keeps the stuff off us lol

Been busy with other things, one of which is purchasing a building next door to spread out into. We got the hull prepped to tab the deck on, and have the deck flipped to prep to tab. I am going to install headliner material before the deck goes on as well as test fit some of the interior pieces. We’ll be recovering/ upholstering the cabin but sticking with this layout. I like it pretty well, for example the pooper is at the back of the cabin so you don’t have to poop next to your sleeping wife. Although it is about 2 feet from the galley lol.

Great work and attention to detail. Have you thought of modifying the interior at all?

I’ve thought about it, but I’ve got to get this thing done at some point. I’ll be changing the material on the cabinets/countertops etc, but sticking with the layout.

Thanks Mike. In other news I bought Mikes (endeavour32) myco trailer. Needs some work but she’ll look good painted the boat color. It has a toolbox and drive guard. Measures 45 ft from hitch ball to the back of the trailer. This boat won’t be hanging off the end of the bunks.

I forgot the year, but the tires are 235/85R16. Why? Do you have some you’d like to donate to the cause? 😉
