Just another fun day at Higgins Marine Metals!

Deck set day.
We are assembling a 38' powerquest that was never finished before the factory closed.  The boat will be finished out but not powered.  It will be up to the purchaser to decide what engine package they want.   

Together at last.

Permanently joined at the seam.

This was a unique project in that the boat already has an arch.  The plan was to provide a functional open tube side support that can be used as a ladder for boarding in low water conditions as well as a place to attach rod holders for fishing boards off each side.  

We were given the unique task of creating a stabilizer that will reduce roll on a motor-sailor hull.  It will be bolted to the 4" wide wooden keel.  It is 9' long x 24" wide.  10" on each side.   It is made from 3/8" aluminum in 6061 series.

After:

Simple and effective, should have results in 2 weeks.

Now a permanent part of the boat.  All wiring is completely internal from exposure.  Cockpit lighting and many other electronics are now overhead.  This can not be done on a canvas bimini top that it came with.
