More pictures of progress

Here are more of the cabin roof, engine cooling water/exhaust and interior.

The floor access hatch surround and seat hinge material is all brass strip that was treated with the same weathering chemical.

More pictures ~

Here are more of the removable interior, we look for a seamless fit so it looks as the real boat would and to prevent the Sea from coming in.

Real brass miniature bolts are used to secure the rub rails.
