Now you need to hook up with 77SeptreOB and git you some of those fancy louvered doors for the cabin!

Wow - looking fantastic. I have not even begun my hull and deck cleanup yet. Yours just shines!

Thanks, John!
Can't believe 8 months has flown by already. I appreciate all your help
in getting her to me, and I think of you every time I step aboard.
Cheers!

Thank you everyone for the kind words, advice and encouragement.
It's much appreciated!

Uncle Boo, I have a bi-fold louvered door that I'm varnishing now.
Not sure what it's from but it fits pretty good!

Still get a kick out of the "moonie" hub caps, you need them for the Ranger to match! :)

ventilation?
 

In looking over your photos, I was wondering if you have any ventilation hoses for below deck? I don't see the scoops on your gunnels....

Nice work Dogbomb. Looks great! Good luck with the splash.

The vents were a crusty mess, so I trashed them and put stainless
cup holders in their place. I cut out the bottom of the port holder,
installed a bilge blower, and a ran a hose between the blower and the
cup holder. I put a loop in the hose with a flapper drain in case water
gets in. A lot of work for two beer holders!

Don't know about your boat, but the vent scoops on mine are Marinium, which means that they can be easily polished on a buffing wheel and then clear coated. What you've installed will probably work out west because you get so little rain, but if your original vent scoops were Marinium they're worth keeping as they can be easily cleaned up.

Yes, I'm sad to report they were severely dented and mistreated.
I saved them just in case but I think they're beyond help. :-(
