oldfielder,

Welcome to the site. I had that second image as my background picture for months. Congratulations and best of luck!

That is one of the nicest looking boats on this site, IMHO.
But I'm partial to the I/O models. Looks like the photos were shot during "magic hour", dusk or dawn.

I'm ticking off projects at about the same rate, don't have unlimited funds to work on my '73 20 I/O, but have instead chosen to work on priority items...like full rewire and a new console this winter. Last year it was the transom and scuppers. The one theme that seems universal from members of the site is that it pays to take your time and enjoy it, versus stressing. Several beers usually help greatly, as I've learned.

Keep us posted on progress.
