Well...i installed the bulkheads, and my seat arrived...so i had a chance to finish 'er up today. weighing in at just under 45 lbs (20.5 kg) i introduce: "Sunburst"

hatches and deck rigging

i did the final work on the deck rigging and hatch covers today. in the last 2 pics, you can see how the hatches are held down from inside, to keep the closures off the deck.

end pour

i did the end pour in the bow this morning. i didnt take any pics, but just imagine the kayak standing on end. the chemical reaction of curing epoxy creates ALOT of heat, so i wrapped the bow in cool wet rags, to keep the heat in check.

i sanded and did a seal coat on the hull yesterday, and today i installed the hatch lips:

sanding, and skim coat...

i did a thorough sanding, and a final skim coat of epoxy on the deck today...next i need to do the same for the hull.

hatches

after taping the exterior seam today, i had time to work on the hatch lips. these will get coated with epoxy, and glued to the inside of the hole. then weather stripping around the exposed edge should water proof it.
