Probably little visible progress to show. Looking at a pic of 120-grit sanded deck looks quite a bit like 240-grit sanded deck.

I should have all the deck hardware by week's end. I'm going with the slimline pull-up cleats and pop-up lights. I'm going out Friday to make templates for the dash panels- they'll be engraved aluminum plate. I need to fabricate a "pod" to go in front of it so the big gauges have somewhere to go.

8 bucks cheaper than what I paid.

I was in a hurry though. I don't want to hold Dave up- he's easily distracted. He keeps wandering off to sand on that upside-down rowboat.

Yes, I've been peeking in. It's looking good. I hope someday to go back to working on my 41. I knew this would happen- I bought the 35 just to straighten up and use- something that wouldn't be a distraction. Had I put this much time, effort and money into the Apache, I'd probably have it running this summer. Oh well.

I don't know that new blower motors and Konrads are "might as well's" I think it's "the boy's got a screw loose".

On the 20- I'm now regretting selling mine.

[QUOTE=Chris Sunkin;2490577]No way would I run a newly-rigged boat to Bimini- especially one with a small tank on it like this one.

[QUOTE]
It's the perfect candidate!!!
Don't run it too hard - run it to finish. Or just to be there.
Small fuel tank?? I saw two 180 gal. bladders for sale today - should do the job easily.

I refer to it as the disease "mightaswellanoma".
I have a serious case of this.
Fortunately, it was contagious to my wife.

Yeah, that's in my nature.

How much is a Sea-Tow from the middle of the Gulf Stream?
