I think the whole world is ignoring all things fiscal or economic - not a bloody thing... and on the build, the sanding continues and every-so-often, during the breaks necessary to allow the dust to settle, such things as making moulds for hatches, window frames, and stuff like that... so - I try, I really try to give you good folk who visit this site, something to see what is happening, something to look at......... So far, just for the build, I have 690MB of some 368 images

Those toilet seats are a funny shape and so close together.

Mass I think your battery location needs re thinking,--it will get soaked in bad weather causing GPS fluctuation and flashing lights N stuff, but it will pass the ventilation requirement regulations.

Those "toilet seats are about 2 ft too high and about 32 ft aft from where the toilet seat will be (unless you prefer to hang out over the stern, then 10 ft further aft for you)

That "battery" was someone else's purchase that failed in operation, to become a very effective (and expensive) "gravity clamp" for use when gluing something to the top of a horizontal surface... I may recover the lead to sell to a mono builder - why build a boat that needs lots of weight added to keep it floating (upright) is beyond sanity...

Have to agree with Frosty there Mas, those toilet seats are too narrow as well, they're going to cut in you but.

I'm worried about the lounge table as well... or do you plan to paint it with the boat ? And that green roll on the table, is it sand paper or just tough already green toilet paper ?

Well, all I can say is if your big arse is that big, then you ain't coming anywhere my boat... Those holes would be about the size of a barn door (side entrance) - - - 3 ft across hope you don't shit to match - - some of you saffa's get a bit uncouth of occasion, and may be in need of being put in your place I will have to install 300hp engines so you can travel at the end of a ski rope and enjoy a stimulating douche... (douche.. A stream of water, often containing medicinal or cleansing agents (salt, sharks etc), that is applied to a body part or cavity for hygienic or therapeutic purposes.) ...

300Hp toilet seat!!! Could work.

There is some levelly toilet roll holders on Ebay if your interested.

Your right about them Saffas being a bit rough round the edges Mas.

Dont waste money on toilet roll holders with Saffas Mas just get old cardboard boxes and magazines, but don't forget to take the staples out first.

Naaa never mind --leave em in, they wont notice,--not them Saffas.

Some pics of how I recessed the outboard power head into the sheer panel so the bracket and nacelle could be slimmer:

A very neat and elegant solution, and nicely finished to boot... When do you expect to launch?

The team are making the large deck hatches and fitting these hatches to sections of the deck, and since the comments were somewhat derogatory - no point in showing more of the same, and it is hard work, done beautifully...

Next week I have to find a square "kitchen sink" and deliver my stove for fitting to the bench...Stove to port sink to starboard... and then the drawers will be fitted....

You dont want to go around saying words like "sink" on a boat Mas

Its a basin, there are other words you never use on a boat like---errr

I like the open toilet approach. It was'nt me that said the seat would bite your butt.

To be honest suggesting that someone had a butt biting boat seat be it big or black belittles beyond belief,-- bit below belt.

I suppose stove is also a bad word as in "stove in"..... so cooktop to port and hand-basin to starboard?
