Chuck,
Thank you so much for the "Stamp", there are so many other boats that have been done so well, it's an honor. Thank you.
The ladder is from GG Schmitt you can see it here, they have some nice stuff. This one is the two step folding, aluminum.

Things are moving along. Laying out the boot top this w/e.
Fuel tank hatch went in. Console in (for good) next week.
I ended up putting Micron 66 on the bottom, it was close to the other Blues that are going on in the boat. It will lighten up as it sits in the water.
Got a busy week going on around here this week. Next Saturday off to Clint Eastwood Country, be there for a week, then come back and get this thing wired up and in the wata.
Time to git me some of dem elusive and speedy konk!! :-)

You know, we all have our own ideas of "bliss" or the "holy grail".
Don't get me wrong, I cannot complain, single, early 50's, live on a boat, in a nice section of town, got a nice small business, women come and go, my friends live vicariously through my exploits. They are envious on me and me of them.
With all that being said, there has to be something in the air up there that Mr. Herman breathes, he comes up with some damn great ideas-----.
Aneyway------, one day there is a palm tree with my name on it, in the mean time, I will continue to do what I like and know, "mess about in boats."
OP

Top of the line, robust ladder. The best you can get. You might want to try flat head bolts to mount it tho. You can get em around the corner from Lewis Marine! Heh heh heh. Nice rig Mr. Parker!

Ya know---, I'm OK with carriage bolts (in this application), don't have to worry about stress cracks or water sitting in the screw heads.
There always has to be a critic somewhere. :-)

Flat heads easier on da feets for you old dudes! Heh heh heh. :D

What? Just tryin to save the old guy some pain and sufferin on his feets. He's gonna be 60 soon and thankin me! Heh heh heh. :D

Ok, I have previously stated that I am an analog guy living in a digital world.
And right now I will admit I don't know what the ef I am doing and so therefore, I am asking for advice.
How do you get different "quotes" from different folks back in the "replies?"
Annnnd Don-----.
It's not like I am standing back there driving and standing on the d---- bolt heads, for that matter, I will p-- from the other side thank you. ;-) You know, left hand engine, right hand----, you get the idea.
