The motor well cover, starboard hatch in place (port side backordered). The bench seat needs some vents and openings along the bottom to allow water to reach the transom scupper. The center part of the bench seat will be removable.

Nina gets A Coaming
The coaming is made up of 3 pieces of 1/4 plywood and follows the line of the sheer. It was make to take the abuse of a swim ladder. The bottom picture shows one of the salvaged cleats, hollow bronze and needing to be stripped of old paint.

Maine Boatbuilder's Show
The pictures are in no special order. We stayed at the Holiday Inn, 19th floor with a beautiful view of the harbor, woke up to a deep red sunrise, temps got up to 68 very comfortable degrees, met fellow forum member D2 Maine out front of the show and had a great time seeing all the exhibits. SWMBO seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. This is one of the best shows, boats built by real people not factories, and not all looking like giant white plastic ski boots. My only wish is that I had taken more time to compose pictures but to tell the truth it was so crowded I probably would still be there angling for a better shot. You may have to go back through older posts to see them all, there are at least 20 or so. As you know, if you click on a pic it comes up full screen.
The Maine Boatbuilder's Show, Portland
Temperature, 68 degrees, sunny, great boats, friendly folks, even great food upstairs with a great view of the harbor. ZOGO (above)was a custom designed and built boat with fantastic woodworking and detail. Boats of all kinds from pure wooden boats built with native materials like Pulsifers to carbon fiber/kevlar canoes. By and large the builders themselves were there to answer questions about their designs and happy to chat with folks. Met a lovely lady who had been a Vermonter and now owns a boat yard on Cranberry Island.

All kinds of boats, a nautical flea market, next door is one of Hamilton Marine's outlets with everything on sale, looking through these pics you will see my beautiful wife holding a wheel I bought at the flea market for $2. Never saw one like it before, some kind of composition with a 3/4 taper. If you examine the pics you will see Dick Pulsifer and his Corgi, D2Maine (I wont tell you which pic, he is shy)
