Progress inspite of it all



Life has been interesting and very consuming lately. Which means the progress on the boat has slowed....I also have been doing a lot of designing trying to figure out the best way to fit everything in. I have managed to finish the fuel fills, covers and fuel exits for both portside tanks and pressure test them both.

Here is a shot of the port side taken today. The blue air hose is connected to front fuel tank to pressurize the tank to 3 PSI. The tank held the pressure for at least an hour, that's when I left.
The Plywood "walls" are aligned with the cabinets etc above them in the saloon. They also create separate compartments for various uses. The Air conditioner for the saloon will be under the floor where the cup is sitting now. There is a dividing wall that goes in between it and the fuel valves. To the left in the picture or just aft of the AC will be the heat exchanger water heater. It is located below part of the galley cabinets. The space at the forward end of the tank will be a deep storage area located under the settee. Good place to store large bulky items.
I guess my next project is to move the generator all the way over to the port side and then start on reinforcing the main stringers and build the black water tank in the bilge forward.
