| These pictures were taken in Nov of 2006. The engine is in, the aft cabin bunks are installed. The control systems and the fuel system are installed.. Still need electrical and plumbing systems. I now feel comfortable that there is enough structure so that the boat can handle being in travel lift slings without being crushed.
