may be worth buying a leaning post tray... at this point of my build I'm over spending endless hours on building 1 offs if there are easily sourced parts online. to each his own though, rebuild is looking good.

I hear you. I’m spending to much time on dry land.

More pictures this weekend. He had love bugs attack the wet gelcoat. Will take some touch up. Nice to see her all one color.

We had love bugs show up during our topside gelcoating and found if you let it set you could scrub them off with a green scotch brite pad and buff it out with compound.

Almost ready for Jewelry.

Very nice, time for "bling" :)

The bling is in boxes all over my house. Finishing the gelcoat is taking for ever. I’m hoping it’s done by Sunday so I can get it to the welder.

Tomorrow I’m working on a mold for a dash insert to mount the electronics and another mold for under seat storage.

Christmas in May. Like a kid in a candy store I bet.

Setback today. When I took the boat to the welder I had my shoes off, the non-skid was hot. I didn’t want it that dark to start with. I asked for a whisper of color, almost an off white. It started to grow on me, but being hot was a deal breaker for me. I asked him to redo it in white and add more non-skid particles.

I will lose a week. My self imposed deadline is looming. I’m starting to doubt if I’ll make it. The One good thing is that the welder had the same console and will be able to build off if while Captain Gelcoat does his thing. I have a time slot to get the engine hung that I don’t want to miss. My son is going to Coopers Town for a baseball tournament that I will not miss. The boat will have to take a backseat for at least a week. Wish me luck for a 4 of July maiden voyage.
