    And Tim looking rather pleased to be holding a big chunk of my floor in his hands...

    For what it's worth, the cockpit floor was solid as a rock and seemed very well put together and supported.

    He had a handy little drill bit to center a pilot hole for the pilot hole - if that makes sense. It made for very quick and accurate work of the screw holes. I must get one.

    You can see how much easier it will be to get into the bowels of the boat now...

    cockpit floor hatch

    Great to meet Tim. We are so chary of portraits on this board, it's great to see the man.

    But also, this series of photos you have here is just the kind of sharing that is so useful for others to have. It's a perfect addition to an inaccessable part of the boat that others should seriously consider! Let's hope it don't leak.* Too much.

    Thanks, guys!

    *talking bomar not yer expertise!
