 The new hard top has temporary struts in the aft for now The aft supports have ladders built in for access to the top of the hard top. The overhead will be closed after the wiring is installed. The control pedestal is fabricated but we will not install till the interior is close to complete. If you look ahead you can see the Pacific ocean. |
 If you look aft, you can see the storage yard next door.. |
