Ah, another labor of love. Everything looks awesome! Keep up the good work!

Great thread!

Thoughtful idea to add the non-slip texture to the cockpit floor.

Great Job ! Keep on posting, we need UPDATES ! (Me, specially)
You have made nice bolsters !

Thanks for the nice comments. I've been away skiing for a week and have prioritized other things than updating this thread, but here we go.
After the cockpit itt was time to start with the deck.

To me it looked great, but Roger the guy doing the paint job was dissatisfied and said he would have to repaint some parts of the deck.

When Roger was satisfied with the finish it was time to start laying down some stripes, and I started getting photos to my cell phone again.

And a few days later I paid a visit to look at how the work progressed. Here are a few photos from that visit.

First some more woodwork pictures.

Nice !!!

And even if there was still some paint job to be done I was allowed to go into the paint shop to start preparations for putting things back again.
First some new deck hardware placed on the deck to try to figure out how they should be placed.

At this point I became a bit unsure, so I called for some second advice. When I got the answer that it looked OK it was time to start drilling...

But at the same time I got the question "What is that hole in the deck?" And when I answered that it was for the gas fill I realised that I should have those at home somewhere and that they were still in the shape they were when I dismounted them. So I had to go home and try to find it. It looked like it needed a bit of work...

But after some polishing and replacing the rubber it looked OK again.

And on the second gas fill you could see what happens if you repaint a boat without being careful.

But with a bit of polishing also that one was possible to bring back to life.

And back in their correct positions.
