Back Wall and cuddy supports

I was able to get the back wall glassed in this past weekend. We cut our original single piece in two in order to get it in...b/c we had installed the gunnel supports/rod holders since we cut the piece...we cut out three hatch holes to match the one in the floor, so we have easy access to the transom, batteries and switches. We also added some supports to the cuddy, which I cab'd in. I also applied a generous coating of cab to the instrument panel and will be burning up some sanding disks to get that right. Here are the pics:

Sanding and More Glassing

The 1st layer of glass on the instrument panel set up nicely, once it was sanded we decided to apply another layer and after I sanded that I am going to "mud" the panel with cab and then sand it out for the final. I also applied some glass to the flooring panels in the transom areas in order to seal it off completely. Those set up nicely too..



and we got to start running some of the cables:
