290 Express Cabin Moving Along


The 290EC continues to move forward, we now have the stringers and bulkheads installed in the hull and are starting to fit the hull with tanks and rigging... I'll get some photos to update the stiffening and rigging processes. Everything is fitting together nicely so far, we're working hard on the head/cabin liner plug, which is the most difficult part of the project. I've included a photo of that process here, it's tedious and not too exciting... but extremely important to designing and bringing to life a high end boat.

Once we're done with the head/cabin liner, we'll build the mold and pull the first part to be included in our first prototype. A few more weeks until that is done, but we're building the hull liner, the dash, and lids mold next week... so stay tuned for updates on those processes. Next week will be a busy one!

Be sure to email us at pde@worldcat.com if there are any items you have questions on how we go through the boat design and boat construction process, hopefully everyone is finding this blog informative and interesting.

Happy Easter to All!
