smccormick Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I'm always impressed with your work. I'd still be standing around thinking about doing it. Quote
Lotus Posted September 28, 2018 Author Posted September 28, 2018 A small update. Console top ( compass holder ) ready and fitted. And a face-lift to the cockpit seat ( bench ) as it looked more like a vintage writing desk than a boat seat !! Quote
hightechmarine Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Just fantastic. Your vision on things is incredible. You execution even more impressive. Looks great Quote
Lotus Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 Finally started to do some work inside the cabin , seats / bed , storage and 2 steps to enter and exit cabin with 2 cup holders . The step and cup holder unit is removable and accommodate 2 batterers underneath( house and motor ). Don't know if it is the right place for battery position and weight distribution yet ! But think at sturn it is going to be too loaded with main motor , auxiliary motor and possibly a live bait well ! Quote
Riggs Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 As always looking very good Lotus. Out of interest what is your head height in the cabin ? Quote
Lotus Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 Hi Riggs, the head room inside is just 53" so unfortunately one can not stand up but seated you have around 6" over your head . Quote

Lotus Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 Cabin setup ready. Also changed the acrylic sliding door from white to black and added some black touch ups at the console . Automatic trim tabs installed as well. Next step is cabin upholstery . With all that full gloss black at cockpit area , now I'm leaning more towards a black outboard instead of white ! Any suggestion ?? Quote
Riggs Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Wow that is looking very nice!! Outstanding if i do say so Quote
smccormick Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Completely agree with Riggs. Beautiful work. Quote
Lotus Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks Riggs and smccormick ! Cabin upholstered and teak ready to be glued down. Zuki AP is on its way I'm thinking about some kind of radial arch around the cockpit area. First reason to put vhf antenna ,anchor light and flood light on top of it and second reason is to attach some kind of shading ( canopy ). Still not sure about the design and practicality ! Last photo is what about I'm thinking 1 Quote
Riggs Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Really looking very good Lotus. I like the idea of the VHF frame thing Quote
Lotus Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 Radar arch starts to take shape . Custom made out of 1.5" 316 stainless tubing Quote
lenm Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Looking good lotus! The sides of your cabin look to be at least 2 inches thick. May I ask how you achieve thickness? Hollow on inside with a backing plate/washers for radar arch? Quote

All the rest is 1/2" plywood as you can see in this photo 1 Quote
Riggs Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Looking very good Lotus. I do like that radar arch in the fact that it comes down nice and simple like. Quote
