not much to show. installed the bottle ports. i located them there to get to the deck gunwhale area where im installing the cams and fairleads for the spin sheets just above. also, surprisingly there is no existing blocking for the main sheet cleats! so ill put in some sealed up ply and pull those up and rebed them with a backer. one step forward, two back, ill use the same backer for the spin sheet cleat. if anyone has an dimensions or advice for setting those up....im all ears. im not sure it matters much since the sheet runs along the rail more or less then has to make the turn through the fairlead. and since it runs through there....it probably dosnt matter too much where thats located as long as the cleat is in a good location. so i just figure to line them up like i see in most of the photos just a bit forward of the mainsheet cam.
i also want to try and get some blocking in between the hull and cockpit floor. we're 2 fat guys in there and its a bit bouncy sometimes. or woulld foam be a better solution? so my autopsy of the other hull was helpful for me and i think i can fit pieces in and around and under. i should be able to figure our where i need that blocking and get it where the halyard blocks will go.
the blue bungee with the fittings with the sheet rock screws goes next. left over from the previous owner. i discovered the rooster small halyard bag so thats ordered up. i think im going to industrial velcro that on. they want you to use screws but i dont like things like that permanently mechanically fastened. so we'll see.
other wise i pulled all the old lighting and wiring off the trailer this weekend and replaced all of that. so finally can get that inspected this week and permanent registration done. yay... did some compounding on the hull to clean up some oxidation. i havent had it out from under the cover for a couple of months. needs a good bath again.
