Well , I have one more flotation chamber to foam and a couple of plugs to epoxy over, and it will be time for my pretty new blue carpet (Lowes) should be about ready to reassemble top and bottom in a couple of weeks. Can't believe I have been picking at this thing since october ! <br /><br />Though I have made many little changes that can account for extra time. First was the bow storage, it is 6 inches wider and 4 inches farther forward. I would guess that its 40 % larger. To offset the loss of floatation I have foamed under the front seat framing. Next I added a ski locker, while its not deep , my ski's fit. Best part of the ski locker is I have access to the hull below and can dry things out when needed. I installed vent holes in all the storage compartments. While it had some they were very small and ugly. I increased the height of the back seat a inch and a half, just a little more storage , and really put some larger vents in this. I really had thought I was going to install the battery in one of the other floatation chambers, to isolate it. It just is too tight. I really was not worried about the lost flotation because I had a place that I could sneak some in to make up for it.
