Thanks guys. I finally had time this weekend to mess with the cabin some. I’m fitting the furniture to figure out how/
where I’m going to cut the bulkheads, as well as how I’m going to wire up the sound inside. Also thinking about a DC operated air conditioning system which would be nice when you’re underway for grandkids to chill. We’ll see.

I pulled the boat of the trailer today. Gotta add another set of bunk stands on the next crossmember forward. This will help pick the bow up and into the bow stop on winch stand. Also I’ll take some material off the bunks that are contacting the boat too hard and re-carpet them.

I got the v berth carpeted Saturday. I’m trying to figure out what I want to use for flooring. I have enough teak planking to do it but I’m not crazy about the weight. I have some laminate left over from my break room. I definitely don’t want carpet…

Dark color in small area usually doesn't work out to well, but does hide dirt better

Some of the new puffy style marine flooring may be an option. The span in flooring would be horrible if it got even a bit wet.
Roger on the weight savings. All you've been up to these days is adding more weight to her!

Making some progress on the cabin upholstery, trailer and wiring. We’re going ahead and repairing some scratches incurred in august when the trailer fell off the end of a boat ramp at lake guntersville. CLR is your friend when it comes to cleaning up this old hatch hardware. Still gotta get some LED lighting for the cabin.

Winston painted the trailer today.
Some props also arrived today that I’m going to try out. They became available recently and are 35 pitch. Props for these boats aren’t always available so you have to jump on then when they are. Might not be able to turn them, we’ll see..
