Very nice! :)

It is hard to see in the photos, but have you done the interior anti-slip surfacing yet? Also, it appears you need to get the thru-hulls in the transom tubed :) Don't want to get water in all that new fiberglass and foam work :)

I think re-furbishing a classic Boston Whaler is the very best deal going today, but it does take a LOT of time and patience to do it right. I have a project underway myself that is ongoing for the last 2 years...but we're getting there!

You'll be bloodying that deck soon!
Oh yeah, as a footnote, I agree with your engine choice, there is no better choice than Yamaha available in my opinion, especially on that size boat. But you may have noticed that I am a fan of their engines on any size boat:)
