We hired BVI Marine Maintenance to come in and do the welding for us. They are located right here in Nanny Cay so I brought the boat around to their dock - even backed her into the slip on my own!
Another shot of the brackets. The T bars that are welded perpendicular to the wall will support the counter top and the T bars just above that are welded parallel to the wall will support the skins I need to hang on the stern.
The big moment. We've been talking about cutting a hatch in the stern ever since we bought the boat in June 2012. When the guys looked at me and said, okay we're ready to cut... I got nervous. It's pretty counterintuitive to put holes in a boat, but a two and a half by three foot hole?!? Craziness!
The guys cut the hole but left the corners intact. Then, they welded on the last few bits of T bar inside.
Here's the first look out the stern hatch.
