Gizmo - Some Photographs taken during building 1st Page

You may need to adjust your screen brightness if the photos are too bright for you!

Measuring and cutting out main panels	Try for size and beginning to take shape
	Positioning panels and wiring up
	Wiring up second side panel
	Wiring finished - Inner panels tried for fit and tacked into position
Filleting and sealing-in panel joints with the Epoxy Resin mix
View prior to bow decking and engine tanks. The final design differs very slightly at the stern from this photo of the original boat.	Engine buoyancy tanks under construction. The engine area is heavily triangulated and very strong for whatever may come!
Bow innards detail	Try out for the steering and throttle levers
As a matter of interest you can see we considered a wheel for steering - but in the interest of safety (getting in and out of the boat quickly) and weight of the gear; this idea was discarded for a simpler and it turns out totally reliable lever system. The boat now nearing completion, only the bow decking, cockpit trimming, engine controls and cockpit buoyancy to finish and then tidy the edges + final decoration.
