Boat is done. Am waiting on a power steering pump that was leaking, a ps resevior tank and a prop and she will be in the water. :drink::drink::drink:

I will get plenty of pics the first time I splash her

How is your project coming along?

Hi,
Ok, good. :) I was getting worried.

I am now grinding the stringers and bulkheads in the cabin area. Not a funny job!
I will not make new ones. I will use the old ones and glass them over.

Honestly, I think the glassing has been very poor on this boat.
I dont know how many layers (pardon my spelling) the stringers has in the cabin area?
I guess it is not more than 2-3.?

Well my objective is to have a safe and strong boat when Im done with her.
It will take some more time than first expected, thats for sure. Im still in love with her. lol.

Inspirational pics of your beautiful boat is very appreciated! :)

Those must be really old photos.......I happen to know that you have some new decals...... and I am sure that any recent photos would have them on the boat????
