[StartQuote] Greetings, Well, finally have worked through family and work issues and had some time to spend on my PT337 conversion; thought I share with you all. First, based on the excellent inputs I received previously and finally having acquired the plan set I remodeled the engineroom/ventilator that I had shared earlier. After reviewing the plans I decided it would be easier to just start from scratch. [IMAGE]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/bwross1/PT%20337/newvent.jpg[/IMAGE] I still haven't modeled the handles as I'm trying to figure out a way of doing it that will be to scale and yet be durable. Coming soon. So for your viewing pleasure, below is the boat in its current state. Ive just about finished sanding off all of the overscale deck planking and have started making modifications/corrections to the cabin structures. Additionally, I have fabricated my take on the air scoops that were fitted over the side ports of the chart room.

As always, if you see something amiss or not correct please sound off so I can get it fixed. Best, Bruce Bruce Ross
