Almost in the water

I just finished it this week and am giving it a week for the varnish and epoxy to fully cure as well as finishing up the seat back (for some reason getting a comfortable seat back is taking a lot of trial and error) before putting it in the water. I will let you know then if they are watertight - but since they are standard marine hatches I am fairly sure they will be tight... Pete
