Oh forgot ,Yesterday I added a couple of risers in the stern took all day, refer to real boat picture and then model before and after . If you look at the real boat you can see that it has a step up towards the stern.

Thank's , i read on the OSE website that the OB can have up to 60mm , after i saw your 4 blades , i check for a 60 mm 4 blades , i did not find one under 65 mm , that's the reason i ask ! Thank's for your answer and keep your good work !

Ok ,yesterday afternoon I fabricated the inside walls and put gaff , boat hook and rod holder boxes in walls. This afternoon I installed the walls ,fabricated a piece for the front wall and brought the entire wall height to 1/8 inch above the deck. I'm all done for today and about a week cause I need to finish a customers boat . Ive been waiting for the paint to cure and harden like a rock before handling it. Check back , stern and console nextIM002778.jpg IM002779.jpg
