smccormick Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm always impressed with your work. I'd still be standing around thinking about doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 As always looking very good Lotus. Out of interest what is your head height in the cabin ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Radar arch starts to take shape . Custom made out of 1.5" 316 stainless tubing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenm Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rest is 1/2" plywood as you can see in this photo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
