Well I have been hard at it again and have been working at a steady pace.  I don't have any recent photos, but will add some soon.

I was dead set on a center console at first, but have since decided to build a dual console helm.

The reasons were that I might want to use the boat for some basic cruising aside from fishing and wanted myself and the 1st passenger to be comfortable. 

 I am designing the consoles and windsheild based on the Alumaweld Talon series.  I really like the near vertical look of the windsheild on that boat.

I hope the design will allow for canvas at a later date, but for now  I will be happy with the wind protection!

I am also building up the front another 10 or so inches to better handle the Columbia river chop on bad days. 

I also want to create a bowspit or front gunwale that is similar to that found on RADON (http://www.radonboats.com) boats.  I think it looks very sleek and can only help in knocking down spray.

I don't think it will be too dificult to make these modifications, but it will definitely make this a unique boat!!

 More with pics soon!
