Man you're such a tease!!
I can't wait to see update pictures of this baby!!!
Looking good!
I notice you decided to go with aluminum angle rails on the stringers instead of the Schiada "Z" rail set up. What drove your choice?
Keep pics coming, I have one of these in my future (distant).
Laying gauges out. Man the decision of how many and where is not easy.
I'm going with the first pic

Top picture looks good. Will you be turning your seat around ever for skiing? That would cover gauges. You could always put gauges to the left of steering wheel too. Just a thought. Here's a couple pics of mine.

Right now I would say I'm never turning the seat around but who knows down the road. Lol
Looks nice. Who made it? Specs?
Hows the rigging coming along?
The blue used in this boat is probably my favorite shade of blue; not too dark and not too light. This boat is stunning and is only going to get better as progress continues. I LOVE the way the interior looks too! Nicely done right from the start!
Looks great. Who did the seats?
Really coming together nicely Dave.
Seeing the stern light reminded me about a question I had on the accent gel color. Is it gray or silver? Its a little hard to tell from the pics and I remember way back you said you wanted it to be metallic. If its silver is it metallic? If its metallic, how did they do it? Did they use automotive paint and clear gel over it? I have yet to find a source for metallic gel coats. Metal flake yes, metallic (like car paint) no.
Thanks and keep the updates coming. Its looking like your gonna have a great summer in 2017!
Is it silver or gray?
Sorry to be such a pain in the ass, does silverish mean its metallic? Like your trailer?
Trailer is except for the catwalk

Mienkens 11.5x16
I'm going up to check on the boat today. We're waiting on Bergeron to ship the last parts to finish it.
What is the Degree on the Menkens ? It's stamped on the side.
I'm no Gel expert by any means but I'm pretty sure the metal-flake in Gel is "automotive paint" type or the same product, and its up to the guy mixing it as to how much and what size he may add.
I talked to Mario yesterday and my 21RC goes into to Sol-Cal for a complete color change above the chime in about two weeks and I be adding Silver as one of the primary colors with quite a bit of Metal-flake in the silver as I'm looking for an "old School" look.

Looking great Dave.
Did SoCal put a second bulkhead in under the deck when they re-did the balsa core? In the picture looking forward that shows the pedals and steering shaft it looks like there's another bulkhead but it could just be a shadow (or the beer I'm drinking...). If yes, can you ask them how far forward from the stock location they located it?
Thanks,
Len
