Update on Hard Top Dodger

It's coming together! Lots of thinking, planning and hard work has resulted in a great looking dodger. I can't wait to see it on the boat.  You can see the first few layers of the bimini top on the mold behind the dodger; however, we had a slight setback.  The photo showing the side view of the frame for the dodger looks great on the work table, but when we brought the frame up to the boat to see how it fit, it DIDN'T.  Bummer! So, we will have to cut off the mounting pads and come up with plan "B".  I think we are still way ahead of where we would be for $$$ if we had a professional designing and building it for us and it will be a better design. PLUS, we seem to love the hard work of owning a big, old boat!
