Finally finished- take a look

2 summers worth of actual work, had the kit for 6 years. Thanks to all on the forum who provided advice, tips, and inspiration-

Congratualtions!  Nice looking boat, nicely finished, nice workmanship! 

Out of curiosity, why the extra hatch?

Congrats.  Great looking boat.  I love the bright finish. Jer   http://gallery.me.com/jermcmanus

Jim, the vcp day hatch opens to a smaller compartment that I can reach from the cockpit, for rain gear, etc. I can open and close it with one hand, too.
