Wood on the water

The moment of truth. She is beautiful, fast and amazing. Exactly 3,5 years after it all started with plans on 1.11.2013. Rewarding project completed without previous skills or experience with such a project, with hobby tools that fit in one shelf. Now we will go on with registration with authorities and some minor stuff (bumper rail, windshield, motor cover).

Boat hotel

As soon as the boat recieved an upholstery my doughter raid it with a sleeping bag. That is love.

Windshield

Safety glass, but nevertheless, it will be covered with safety film to keep it from breaking.

Final varnish completed

Wiring completed

Original dashboard supplied with the engine did not have enough gauges, so some more were ordered and put into a small wooden box with LEDs and switches. Oil pressure, cooling water temperature, engine hours, battery level, fuel level. Switches are for deck lights and ilumination of gauges, amplifier and a push button for horn.

Wiring

4 days of work to complete hydraulic steering, floors, most of the electric wiring and dashboard.

Hide-out

Great place to finish a book when the cleaning is done.
