Thanks guys!
There are plans for a lot of padding. Maybe the pictures don't show it, but there's a lot of room. My shoes are very loose in those footholds. They had a bit of padding before I chopped up the ski and they were too loose as it was, so I think it'll be just right with more padding...

The tray is finally taking it's final shape!! WOOOO!
And lastly, all glassed in.
Update time!

Thanks guys!
The next step is to prep the entire lower hull... Which requires some fairing compound, maybe a bit of glass, and a lot of sanding! I was enjoying the unusual 70 degree weather outside today while sanding, and decided to snap a few better pictures for you guys.
Remember, my...
Progress is much slower than I would like it to be, but at least I'm moving forward! I have a baby on the way (end of April 2016), so that's somewhat of a project deadline!
