Mines almost ready to go. I just need to seal her up and to the benchmark testing.

Guys 4 more things to do before getting wet.

1. Fit the cockpit windows
2. repaint the deck
3. fit the electronics
4. The fittings ( I may launch it first and then put on the fittings)


I am going to deal with the windows and the deck today
and then I will have to find an idea on how to prevent the motor from moving around itself.

I know but I also need to wait for the glue to dry before I start painting
The good thing is that because I am painting it at evening it will have dried 'till next morning so when I get up I can start work on the electrics.
