Where the batteries will live and other stuff

Oarlock on riser and center seat where batteries will live. I reinforced the floor with an extra layer of plywood under the battery boxes.

Not happy with my work

Here are some recent pics of the boat. Not happy with the outcome of staining the decks and attempting to pay the seams

When the tape was pulled away, some of the seam compound (caulking) came with it.  Did I pull too soon, too late, who knows?  Several seams came out perfectly, but not good enough.

Also, the stain is too dark. Needed to stop one coat sooner, but there were blotches and unevenness.  Now it is all too dark.  Bummer.  Not liking this at all. Considering dragging out the RO and going back to bare wood and starting again.
Below, the newly painted hull.  Shadows make it look worse than it is.  Actually pretty happy with how the hull came out.  Considered painting the sheer strake a different color but decided on all white.
