Deck, bow eye and splash rail.



Added the deck and bow eye. 


Added a bow eye. This was not in the plans. A fellow builder alerted me to add this before I enclosed the deck. I'm glad I did. Thanks Ron!






















Cut, fit, glued and screwed on the deck.
Attached a laminated splash rail. On my first attempt I cracked the wood trying to fit it to the curve of the deck. Second try worked fine. After this piece cures, I will add one more. In effect I'm laminating in place.

    Mike, I'm glad I was able to help save you from the frustration of trying to install the bow eye after the deck was in place. What are you planning for your paint colors?

      Ron: Original intent was a blue hull, white below waterline, and varnished seats, trim, and deck. But now I'm not sure.... After referring to your blog as my construction manual, I'm starting to have an affinity for Jade green! Seriously though, as I progress through my build, I appreciate your craftsmanship more everyday. You did a great job.
