Hull Surgery

It was difficult needing to cut into such a beautiful hull. It was a must. The foredeck (the raised part in front) was too long and would not accept the seat and drive placements necessary for good balance. I had to cut off a section of it last night and will replace it with a new deck. 

I'll clean up my cutting work tonight and get the foam bulkheads in place. The online foam purchase for the deck was damaged during shipping, so I am waiting to hear from the company about a replacement. 

In the meantime, I will glass the pedestals  and prep the hull for future bracket locations. 

In other news, we only have 8 days or less until boy #2, Charlie, comes. That will change the amount of time I have for everything, so the key is to work in quick bursts.
