That looks absolutely fantastic. It looks like it came from the factory like that. You have amazing skills that go beyond carpentry.
We almost saw the eclipse....then clouds moved in. But got our Mac launched today.

Looks great, sure hope you never have to separate the hull deck joint.

Thanks guys - I'll just be happy if it floats - we'll see when we launch in a week or two. I'll be watching from the shore when my wife takes it out for the first test run

Re: Project M - Doubling the Size of the Cockpit
This is a very cool mod. How do you get in the boat from the water?
I have a 26M with a 90 Suzuki and it's a tight entry. So I'm wondering if your side ladder is full of awesome sauce as well.
Thanks,
DB

Re: Project M - Doubling the Size of the Cockpit
Wow...that's a really neat project, and looks great! It almost looks like something you would mount from the top, that slides down onto the back and locks in place...
Um...I noticed that you have the life ring hanging right behind the seat...is that an indication of something?
(hee hee!)

So how did this mod turn out in the end... Were the sea trials satisfactory?
Anything you would do different?

Hi Bob,
3 Years on, are you still happy with how this mod turned out? .... If you did it again would you do anything differently?
All the best.
