The weather is starting to warm up nicely here so I'm back to work. I decided that the finish level I had left the sleeping compartment at, wasn't as fine as I had decided earlier. Even though I think I'm going to insulate it later, I figured it would be a good way to learn a bit about fairing. I learned fairing sucks and I hate it lol. I'm hoping a convex surface like the hull exterior will be better than being bent over in the concavity of the cabin.
Also I've been working with Grok, iterating on the changes I'm planning. For anyone that hasn't tried AI yet, you are in for a surprise! I drug my feet feeling like the last thing I wanted was to interact with some glorified chat bot. How wrong I was! My plan had been to buy the slingshot 19 plans and use the folding aka system and amas. This is where I ended up. 
Here is the ama liberated from the block of foam. Sorry the pic is so bad, but I had to wait until the storage facility was getting ready to close before bringing it from my house. Threw it on the roof, wrapped a strap around in into my sunroof, and held on. Luckily it's an extremely short drive. 
I'm glad to see you're back at work, Thomas. There were many days I cursed myself for being too impatient to wait for things to warm up. I hear you about how unpleasant bending over to work on the cabin interior can be. Mine is the least polished part of my boat, but I figured it would be closed and out of sight most of the time and covered with bedding anyway.
Milestone reached! I actually got in the boat for the first time. I've been concerned with the strength of the structure without the support given by water. Now that the seat stringers are epoxied in, the middle really stiffened up. First impressions are the cockpit is smaller than I anticipated, and the cabin is larger. Also just because my strap/cradle is strong enough, doesn't mean it's stable enough. It probably would have been less tippy in the water lol
