Sport 40 is coming along well. Next up is the body work and prep and then it's off to get painted.

I have it set at 10-5/8" for now. When I get in the water I'll adjust as needed.

Had no time to work on the sport 40 this week, until today. Filled in all the pin holes on the cowl and applied 2nd coat of primer.
Will wet sand with 320 and apply the 3rd and final coat of primer.
Will have time this weekend to get working on the hull to get ready to paint next week.

I layed carbon fiber along both edges of the cowl starting from the rear going forward about 6 inches long.

Second coat of primer, most of the pin holes are gone. Should have it finished by Monday afternoon. Had to do some repairs on the bottom of the boat around the plywood plate.
