Eric - bravo man, great work. This is about the point in the project you really start to feel like you're gaining ground and all the **** was worth it. It's a tough go and the percentage of people that finish or even get to this point is slim.
Keep it up, you're almost there. Get ready for people to ask you what year it is, some will think its brand new (and it is!!!)
We're pulling for ya brother! shoot a text/call if you need something or if you have questions. I've done it a couple times over, made my fair share of decisions where I wish I could go back and change something, if I can save you any of that I'd be happy to.

Ok few things on my mind. With getting very close to rigging time I have been taking the time to set up shop with all the inventory needed to build a boat lol. In fact a have my buddies boat he’s rebuilding to rig with him as well so I’m really stocking up lol. Nothing worse then being in the middle of so thing and need a screw or bolt or clamp you don’t have. Any way I’m maping put my wiring making diagrams printing them off and lamenting them so I can put them in a binder in the boat since it will be from scratch. Know with working on a lot of different boats I have got a good idea of what to do and what not to do lol amazing how many shorts and things I found when taking my cig apart and others as well over time things rub threw and all kinds of things. So looking at switches to order in the past I have done the black toggle switches there robust and last. But each one has to have a breaker wired in. I was looking at the round push button that has the breaker built in the switch. Really cleans up wiring and seems like they have a decent review. Any thought ? Who has experience with them ? I like them because it’s less connection to go bad over time and less moving parts with not having to wire in breakers externally
