[QUOTE="great white, post: 243862, member: 6238"] Right hand wing box: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/36e07ed8-1.jpg[/img] Circuit Breaker/Switch panel is installed but not wired. View from up by the bow: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/7341e414-1.jpg[/img] Still left to do is hinge and brace the rear hatch, as well as add a slot for the fuel line and maybe a bit more venting as it's the fuel tank compartment. Trapped fuel vapors in a closed area is mucho bad! I want gas vapors to escape [i][b]toute suite[/b][/i]) so more venting is always welcome. That's probably it for today. Tomorrow I'll work on the panels for the lower deck. I'm still only up to a about 1 1/4 sheets of 3/8 plywood in the build. I've still got a 4x4 piece, a 2x4 piece and a bunch of pieces that were cut out of the holes and scraps on the rack. I've almost got two full 8 foot 2x4's in there now. Unfortunately, I'm up to 8 screws needed to be removed to be able to lift everything out of the hull........ :LOL2: Hopefully, it's keeping nice and light for the comfort gained. In keeping with the "light" theme, there's going to be minimal hatches and doors on this build. Mostly "pass through bulkheads" (bigger version of the holes you see in the wing boxes) to store things like life jackets, coats, etc. I sure hope she still planes as nice as before all this was installed.....
