Birth of my new TIGE 22V

The hull sections are out of the molds and are preparing for the rest of the assembly process.

This is a picture of the two hull sections joined.

Congrats! Looks good already.

That is too cool!! Pictures in the Tige maternity ward!! That is definitely bonus customer satisfaction.

The process continues

More pictures of the process of the building of my boat.

The underwater components have been installed. Notice the docking lights in the bow of the boat.

The process continues

This shows part of the floor with the fuel tank exposed. You can also see the carpeting that has been installed.

The process continues

The back of the boat. The through hull exhaust openings have been installed and the rudder assembly has also been installed.

I hope the carpet is not installed, the removable panel frame is still showing.

That "Top Deck Lamination" picture in the gallery really shows how the top half is all one piece. I guess that's why when we hit a wake in the old Sea Ray everything rattled and the Tige just thuds, no rattle.

Very cool to see under-construction photos.

Ray:

Keep the pictures coming. This is really interesting.

Looks like it's going to be a nice boat.

That I do not know for sure. I will check the boat out when I get the boat and that should be around the end of March.

Yes. This post and the next post.

I originally did not post the getting glassed pictures as that is sort of like conception, ya know, something that should be kept private.
