Bayliss Boatworks construction update: Bayliss 62' Seven

by Bayliss Boatworks 3 Oct 2020 00:04 AEST

In late September, Seven emerged from the paint bay with the hull glistening in final paint, and the cabin wrapped for protection. The crane arrived and our crews assisted Palm Beach Towers with the seamless installation of the tower and hard top.

Seven's custom transom artwork was completed by Everett Nautical in late September, before being coated in numerous protective layers of clear coat. It won't be long before she hits the water for her sea trial, at which time we'll mark her waterline for bootstripe and bottom paint.

Stepping into the interior of Seven, you'll notice that the dinette and galley cabinetry installations have begun, bringing this space to life. Now that the galley's main cabinetry components are in place, some of the final components will be installed on the boat this month, including the granite countertops and appliances.

Once housing for the main panels was installed in the galley, our Electrical Crew completed their wire runs. Now the crew is turning their attention to lighting trim out in preparation for the upcoming installation of the headliner.

Within the engine room, the Mechanical Crew mounted the proprietary Bayliss Boatworks freshwater cooling loop and the crew is currently priming the engines and generators for Seven's first sea trial later this month.

In the lower level accommodations, final teak installations of everything from bunk rails, to door frames, to nightstands are well under way. Next, the Interior Carpentry Crew will begin fabricating the custom master stateroom headboard, which will be a beautiful focal point for the room.
