Underside of the bustle has been primered and will be sanded smooth. Should pop the bustle and cap to the transom early next week.

Can that bustle be used on other boats, i assume the only issue will be width! But believe the 36 is same as the 28 right?

Damn those tomato cans are the Leatherman tool of the boat building industry! Amazing how many different jobs they can do.

I have always wondered where you get them in bulk? Italian restaurants or do you guys just really like spaghetti sauce?
we get them in bulk. They really are used for everything haha thumbsup

capping on the bustle is complete. Flipping the hull over to paint the bottom of the bustle first.

Very cool to watch it all come together. Is there any consideration to pull a new mold off of the completed boat? I'm sure the customer wouldn't be thrilled but it seems like it would cut down on the labor for the next one.

Sponson hatches are being built for coolers. Last thing before we start rigging.

I just went through and started at the 1st post again to see all of the progress made on this, pretty amazing how much time and effort goes into these molds and making these changes!

Any ideas when this boat will see water?
