Aqua Riva Build

moved on quite a bit, Stained up parts for cabin, done seats and also noticed on Real boat there are pockets on side doors and also airvents at bottom of cabin, have manufactured these up and fitted, have started bottom hull first planking (phew) but this is good practise for later when i lay mahogany strips, also played around with Dashboard in between planking as breaks the monotony, Have to just praise this site as got so much information and assistance from other Riva Builders KEN and DP trainer to mention a few (many thanks) and can only hope i can get somewhere near their Quality .IMG_0163.jpegIMG_0162.jpegIMG_0170.jpegIMG_0195.jpegIMG_0196 - Copy.jpegIMG_0177.jpegIMG_0186.jpeg
