Out for a ride

The boat came out of the shop Saturday to be turned around in the yard.  She is looking more like a boat every day.   

How do the lines look?

We are finally getting an idea of how part of the boat will actually look.  It takes a lot of c-clamps to test the frame.  Fortunately we have a Harbor Freight store near by.

Here you see the cross beams for the cockpit deck.
 Part of the motor and exhaust will be in a box on the deck. 

Checking our the sheer line using aluminum bar.

And for the bird watchers - here is an anhinga enjoying the wagon that John left on the dock to keep birds from using the dock.  I just missed getting a shot of a great blue heron watching the anhinga.  Now we have a wagon full of bird poop instead of just a splats on the dock.
