Well Seetick can't have all the fun with all his bare woods. I am slowly wallowing along three inches at a time. This is the interior, all white cedar simulated bead board.
New style hardtop
- Thread starter Oyster
- Start date
Well that would be one bang up of an idea ans for sure you are more than welcomed to wonder up this part of the world. The only problem I see is that there ain't nuff mud around this joint for you guys, only sandbars to party on which I am sure would be a culture shock. 
But in all seriousness, if I can make some progresss to get the dang thing in the water before the end of the summer, I think that there is some sorta show down your ways this fall and I have an excuse and mamma has given her preapproval to visit that region of the world .

That would be the Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival - Oct 10 and 11
We've got three boats that COULD be there, IF we manage to finish any one of them
I'm sure your hardtop would get a lot of attention

Seedtick,
If you and Keith can, you might go on up there and visit. They have some pretty good paddling creeks up there. My friend that lives over in Mill Creek says they have some Nutra Rat up there now. Alligators there will most likely start mutlipling now. Think of how hard you could party with some hard sand to dance on.

Well I am closing in on the hull. The foward section is also lined with cedar too. The cockpit will have plenty of protection for my grandkids and seaworthy with splashboards which will deflect water too down the rails. I have all the interior completed but still needs cosmetics and will add those shots in another post.
The dinette converts to the passenger seating, flipping over with a special locking support from the bottom for it. This feature also makes it nicer inside when I want the interior to be as open as possible, folding things away.
Under the walkaround covering boards, storage gallore with components that fold up for easy access for the old folks. The table has its own zero clearance fold up which allows the underside to be free from all obstructions when a person or two sits down for some banter or food.

On the starboard side, more storage under the interior helm seating. The galley area also converts into a love seat size for two other people to sit and chat in desired inside and has enough length for small kids to sleep overnight if desired. I lined the interior which doubles as support with cedar too.
Seedtick, a fella finally built a boat heavier than what you and Keith build!
That's a really neat set of designs, Oyster.

Maybe he'll invite us on a cruise? Not the maiden voyage, for sure, that would be for his friends n such. Us raggle taggle guys will come in last, "You betchum, Red Ryder. "
LOL! Thanks guys, but I don't got friends. Friends are the ones that have a boat and you can either use theirs or go with them and buy the gas you know. :wink: :lol: So as Mr. Rogers use to say, wanta be my neighbor? and iffin you wanta take a boat ride anytime just let me know.Kayak Jack said:
Well since things are a bit sluggish lately around here I will provide an update. My cabin and external parts are ready for the finish work . The nice walkaround decks worked out to be better than expected and has room for a bulwalk and cap foward which also will double as a bow rail without all the height normally needed. The trunk will allow for anyone wanting to ride or sit foward for a spell to do so with plenty of leg room.
Nice looking boat. That'll take at least two fellas to portage it, ehh? And, one of'em better be strong.
looking good my friend. on bears behalf, where would the paddler(s) sit/stand and type of paddle. Later keith
