If you liked those I have a few more for ya. Along with subtitles.
With bridge deck removed prior to final installation, the guys are working on installing the perforated panels over the fuel tanks. Notice the double framed sections over the engines? Those are removable so when the time comes for a major overhaul on the engines you would just drill up from the engine room through giudes installed at the 4 corners and snap a chalk line from corner to corner above deck and cut out on the line and viola minimal patch work required.
Check out the fuel line runs that will travel down the front of the fuel tanks. Those will be totally concealed behind that "U" shaped board. The goal is to hide as much plumbing as possible so the engine room is operating room clean.
This is the underside of the bridge deck with sound down insulation being applied. The deck is very light weight made from Niddacore.
This is a picture from the aft section looking at the back of the fish box. The macerator will be connected to that pvc pipe coming down from the box. If the back of the fish box looks a little rough it's because you're looking at the balsa wood that was epoxied in place. There are insulating panels that get applied at this point and the outer skins of those panels have a yacht quality finish. The other empty pvc pipe will hold the hydralic lines going back to the trim tab and steering rams. Everything is nice and neat.
These pictures are pictures of the sounddown aluminum panels installed on the sides of the engine room. You can see these unfinshed in a previous picture, leaning up against a bench. They look much nicer painted and in place. The pictures are deceiving as a result of the light coming through the deck beams above. They seem wavy but if you look close those are shadows. The panels are rigid and perfectly flat. They are made from 2 pieces of aluminum sheetstock laminated together with a sound deading material.
There have "H" and "J" mouldings installed around the edges. This ain't no charter boat you're lookin at here. Check out the fit and finish. Port and starboard sides
These are the bottoms of the fish box and lazarette hatches getting the final finish coat. They are also light weight composites. The fish box hatches are insulated also.
