.......And, the worst part of the project thus far... The cuddy.....

Before.... Yep.... That's SHAG carpet




What a miserable job... Removing 34 year old carpet glue .....



I painted it with an urethane alkyd enamel floor paint from my local hardware store.. Seemed to cover good

Tried to replace the Excalibur with a Python over the weekend.. I understand that they weren't the best built boats, but WOW ! Both the Pythons were 16 years newer than my Excalibur, and both of them had soft floors and rotted stringers....

REALLY made me appreciate what I already own, so I got back to work on it....
