They don't look like grab rails, Matt. They look suspiciously like rod holders. They's something you stick things in that you grab though, I must admit.
Oh bugger, I didn't see that last post until after. However, rod holders are more sexy than exhaust flanges, I think you'd agree..?

Matt me guy - wow... that is some tall headroom. Don's kids could do jumping jacks in your yacht!
By time you get full 7' interior height remaining with thickness of roof structure as well as interior ceiling finish and floor covering added together what do you think... 7'8" +/- to outside top area?
May I suggest a scaled artist's drawing to get pre-glimpse of visuals at completion. You're playing with the beauty strokes now. I believe you built AXE to be a fine lady who wants to wear nothing but the best outfits in compliment her to sexy hull lines.

Hey brother!
Duly noted my friend. CP suggested the cardboard which i like so will do that and go from there. I also like your idea but if I can see it in the flesh then I'll be able to grasp the idea better. If I stay around 2200mm inside then yeah she'll be around 2400mm outside + solar panels etc.
Thanks heaps for you kind words. I really appreciate your time and support. It's a shame we're not living closer. I reckon we'd get along like a house on fire!

Didn't know him but knew of his creations and designs. He did a lot for the timber boat community.

Another TF member and I were discussing Renn Tolman's death on facebook last night.It is a great loss to the boating community,especially in the PNW up to Alaska.He was a good man.I have,or had,his book about tunnel hulls that can run in a few inches of water.Very neat design.I did have a copy of his plans for one of his larger skiffs.I hope someone in his family will keep publishing his boat plans and books.
G'day folks.
After a two week layoff (Flics birthday, new car purchase, road trip and rain), I was back into the swing of things which felt great
I went and bought a 30ft tarp so I could remove the roof sheets so I could stand up and walk around with out too much effort and so I can start building the fwd section
I epoxy glued the stem and finished the last run of the 4" exhaust. I dry fitted the flange I had made and I must say, I like it a lot. I've epoxied the cut out but will try and sika it up and fit it tomorrow if the epoxy has cured.
As I start to wrap up this bit of the build, Looking back, It's been a mission to get here and to get some parts I needed which had to be custom made, but it's all paid off I think.
Couple of bits left to do in the bilge like Finish off the painting, fitting the raw water pump slider and a few other bits then I can move upstairs
Well that's all for today.

Well today I ticked a couple more bilge jobs off. I made a slider thingy for my raw water pump and pretty stoked how it came out. Certainly wouldn't make a living out of selling them cause it is a bit old school and rough but it does the job at tensioning the belt so can't ask for more than that. The LED downlighting is great. Nice and bright. The plumbing for the raw water is all sorted. The exhaust is almost finished with the fitment of the flange today. Not much left to do now. Bit of a clean up then paint .

Nice! However....I think you will hate that pump all the way out there, and your risk of injury has just gone way up. You will find yourself working down there one day with the engine running and that looong belt is a hazard. Now you will have to build a guard for it all. Sorry, I can see how much work went into that install.
Also, does that through-hull ball valve have the proper threads? You didn't buy a Home Depot valve with tapered threads because you are a dedicated TF reader, right?
I'm being more than usually annoying - please don't take offence and feel free to ignore me. I'm more than 100 km from my boat right now, which makes me cranky and you can see that I never post pictures of my engine room!

Good point. I didn't think about that. Where would you have put it? It might be better to move it then add a guard.
We don't have Home Depot, however, The through hull and ball valve have matching machined threads.
Why not?

It`s looking very much like a boat, great work, impressive progress.
Xsbank is right, the belt drive to the pump is a worry, depends what was done to suit it whether you relocate or guard it.
In industrial injury cases it was said, the only safe machine was where the guards prevent it being used at all.
All the best.

Nice. Its looking like the real deal.
Yes- I too would shorten up the belt. Its hard to say from the pics, but can your adjusting rod be shortened to move the pump in front of the engine.
I'd hate to get a sleeve or finger caught in there when down checking the oil down in the ER.

LOOKING AWESOME!Where'd you get the downlighting from?
Thanks mate.
I got the stainless steel tilting light fittings and wiring plugs from eBay, the LED bulbs from ikea and the wire cabling I already had. All up those 6 lights cost me a grand total of $11.20 :-D.
A lot brighter and more reliable than that LED strip lighting or standard halogen bulb fittings.
I will be fitting these down lights all through the ceiling of the cabin and external hardtop.
