Well we hung the motor from a tree. Then installed it in the boat in order to check the spacing on the motor mounts. But somehow I forgot to take any pictures. We now have the measurements to install the front motor mounts and get this project rolling.

The flake is a challenge, still working on it. I made a foam template for the front motor mounts. From that I built two boxes out of cypress. Ready to glass them in.

Bilge gelcoating went well. However, @!$# fish eyes. Metal flake attempt number five fail.
