Got most of the deck supports completed. Wouldn't you know I would be 26 screws short of completing the port side.
This project has been a test of my patience. The wife asked me if 200 screws was crazy. When she gave me the last one, she asked where the other bag was at. I responded... at the store.

Maybe she was trying to tell you that you were crazy for ONLY buying 200 screws!

Any updates? Hope things are going well.
We are going on vacation in a few weeks and I need to live on the boat to get everything done! Not sure how that is going to work, but it WILL get done.

Progress has been slow. The wife wanted a few weekends away so that she could relax. I need to jump back on her if I want to see it in the water before years end.
Most of the rear deck supports are installed and done. Just need to finish it off and close it up.

Glad to hear you are doing OK, thought you might have boxed yourself in and needed rescue from the bilges!

I'd get way more peace and quiet if I would have boxed myself inside!
The other issue I ran into is if I close it up, replacing the exhaust is so much harder than when it is open. Priorities, love it.
