We are busy working on the boat, getting lots of stuff done now that we are finished with the fillets and fiberglass cloth on the inside bottom.  That was a terrible job and the work now is much more enjoyable.  We have painted all the inside bottom with bilge paint and fitted the floorboards.  We are also making templates for the forward v berth and figuring out where to put the porta potti.  The cockpit floorboards have been painted with three coats of resin on the underside, for strength and moisture resistance.  They will be permanently be installed today and hopefully we won't ever need to get under them again.  The sand barrels are back in use, weighting down the floorboards and the transom compartments.  Also, the fuel tank has been installed under the floor in the cockpit in the large center compartment.  So, we are making good progress and every day it looks more like a real boat.  We need to think up a good name for her, so we can stop referring to her as "the boat"!
