Since the last update, we've actually gotten a few things done that seem "visible".

First off got the next (hopefully final) coat of bed liner on the forward deck. Seems to look really nice and is tough as nails. Here's a picture.

It came out looking really nice, I think, and seems tough as nails. Please excuse the ball of masking/edging tape and the dirty footprints. Dane had been removing the tape. As for the footprints, we'll soon be seeing how easy this stuff is to clean. Apparently water, soap and a stiff brush are in order. It certainly seems tough enough to deal with that.

Speaking of masking tape... the supplier recommends removing the tape as soon as the Durabak is dry. Of course we left it in place for a couple of weeks since we were going to have to put on a second layer. I now concur with the manufacturer and recommend its prompt removal. Dane REALLY, REALLY recommends removing it promptly, since he got most of the scraping duties.

Other work all revolved around the interior soles (floors). First off cut and laid in the center cabin sole sections for the front half of the cabin. This involved removing some of the temporary roof supports (seemed to be ok) and laying in 3/4" plywood sections. It's nice to be able to walk without climbing around quite as much.

Next was the "helm platform". This will serve as the floor under the starboard helm area and the eating area. Took quite a few trimming cycles before I got it to fit around all the frame members and cabin support posts, but it seems to have done ok.

Got the supports in place under that area and moved on to getting the vertical bulkhead that seals off under the helm area. Got it all cut and notched and in place (not fastened yet).

Dane moved from tape removal to vacuuming and cleaned a bunch inside. We still have a ways to go on that, but since we keep cutting and sanding in there, it just keeps getting messy.

At the end, we had the floor mostly in place (one piece removed since we were working in there), the helm platform in place, and the initial pass at the couch/bench seat on the port side base sitting in place. It really kind of looks like a boat.
