I've gotten the floor screwed in now, and have the sub deck on the bow. I used the sheets of 1/4" mohagany with the bad grain for the sub deck. I'm in the process of resawing honduran mohagany for the final decking, it will also be 1/4". I plan on fairing the sub deck using epoxy filler in 1 low spot. By the time I get it sanded, the final deck on and sanded I should have a super smooth curve on the deck. Steering cable is run, control cables are connected to controller, but not installed yet. Fixed fuel tank 12 gallon is installed. I need to put the sub deck on the aft end and will start planking.

The engine finally showed up, I was hesitating on building the motor well until it was here. Now I have something to measure against so hopefully won't have to do things twice.
