On the way to the water

Launch!! 

Nudge on the way to her first splash in the Pacific Northwest

She'll be in the water Monday 2/25/13 for her first sea trial!

Suddenly, the tug in the pictures is OUR tug!

Margaux of Margaux Marine Graphics traveled to the factory to make it happen.

Nearing Completion!

Salon liner being lowered into hull

The salon liner includes the piloting station and controls, the galley, the dining area and Valentine's and Chelsea's stateroom. 

Deck awaiting installation on hull

This is the deck and cabin exterior with all the hardware added.

Deck now mated to the hull assembly.

Now onto wiring and hose connections and installation of equipment (toys)!

Construction continues.....

Deck and cabin fresh out of the mold.

Engine is out of the box, into the boat!

Looks Like a Revell Model

Insert Part A into Part B, apply glue to edges of Part C and fix atop Part B. Hold until glue hardens. And now we know what happens to those little kids who loved to build Revell models.

The hull and interior stringers have been completed. The forward stateroom and head (Part A) have been inserted into the hull (Part B). The deck and cabin top (Part C) is all one piece. Once the remaining interior pieces have been installed in the hull, the deck and cabin will be sealed to the hull.

Piece by Piece, Nudge is Taking Shape

We asked the factory for more pictures, and this is what we got. Wise guys. 

This box of snakes makes the stuff in the other boxes work.

Keel extension - important piece of the drive train.
