Va Beach v20 project

I like the ingenuity there Kracker. That will look nice when done. Heck I just realised that I can start building my console and leaning post if I go ahead and shorten my cuddy and get it glassed.

Well here she is fellas. I improved my storage added a leaning post and a rocket launcher all in one piece. All I needed to do now is glass her up. As you can see I made the hole big enough to were I can remove and acess the lower storage and still have upper storage for tackle and knick knacks.

I glassed up my spray shield on my console today. Tomorrow I will glass on my box on my bench seat. But here is my basic foot print of the console and leaning post.

I put 2 layers of CSM on those under the cap acesses for my lighting.

I also glued and screwed and glassed my bow arch in today. I will be glueing my cap ply on tomorrow. I'm getting very excited at this point. Everything seems to be coming together as planned.

Here's a view under the cap showing the Chase holes that's gonna be used to run my 16 ft strip lighting and future wiring. The inside corners under the cap will simply tabbed in with a strip of 1.5 CSM.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN KRACKER!!!

My sons project V is just waiting under a tarp for some decent weather. She might go in the garge this weekend so we can get this project going again. Really need to find a console. Gonna hit budget boats one day this week. I called them, they said they had a few laying around.

Thanks for the invite Kracker!!

Actually I snuck out of the office for a couple hours today and ran down there. Found a nice solid one with doors for $100!!

Side note: They had a nice late model V20 center console there. Needed cleaning and repower. Saw it on my way out and didnt ask them about price....looked like they might have just got it
 
I talked to the owner today at the boat show. They havent priced the one you saw.The cuddy thats on the website he said he will sell for 200 bucks. he also has a old mckee craft like a 16 footer he will sell for 250 bucks. There are some projects up there to be had. I might go grab that mckee craft.
