Hey guy's this boat was an ex race boat and was setup with F16 fighter canopies and when i was employed at Skater /Douglas marine it was sitting in the back forty without a deck waiting to be cut up and now has a new deck and gas tank's along with everything else that needed to be done and work that is still waiting to be done . To start things off these are a few pics of the cockpit pannels that were installed and i have a few pics ( 40 ) that i would like to share with everybody of the work in progress .

I'd love to see the work you're doing -- if you don't want to resize them and have a fast connection, email them to webmaster@boatdesign.net and I'll add them to your posts above.

Or I don't know if you're on windows or mac -- if windows vista, or xp I believe, one easy way to resize is to select all the photos, right click, send, to mail recipient,and then click "large" and it will resize them all (and you can save them resized from the email to a folder if you wish)

(I'll try to get better image resizing on the fly in the future so it's faster to upload a bunch of photos to the site)

These are two more pics of the baffles on the ST - BD side and like i said before im trying to get the best fit i can and if you see a gap on the sides that is alright because the baffles will be glassed in on the sides and bottom .

Nice work GG

was that hatch/deck section pre-molded or did you cut it out and then develop the recessed flange to flush the hatch to the deck
