You do good work. I like your rudder control counter-sunk boxes. Will you have access to the compartments under the cockpit?

Bemm,

Quick question: is the seat you are using on your Sabalo the Apex 1? It looks like it. If so, how do you like it?

Yes you are correct........ I've got a bit of a dodgy back (spent too many years in construction game) so I find the support good.

Velcro tie downs are a bit of a pain so I linked the thru brass dog clips and they work fine.

All in all very happy with seat and have ordered one for the brides boat :D

Mike the white is micro balloon filler in west system epoxy........pretty rough fillets but it will never be seen. :oops:

I found from my Sabalo build 50% white powder(west micro balloons)/50% sifted ply sawdust = about the same colour as ply when mixed with epoxy and set

This is for fillets you can see 8)

Nice job. She'll be proud to be seen in a "boat that hubby built - just for ME!" Wait until you hear her bragging to her friends about that!
