Hey guys...we're getting there. Anyway, its been a while since the last update but here it is. Over the past couple months I rebuilt/modified the console by raising the upper portion of it to accomodate flush mounting electronics and accessories, I also didn't really care for the short stuby look the old console had. I need to dig up some pictures of that process, but it was the basic, glass, grind, fair sand stuff we're all used to.
For the final stages of the project I moved the boat from her project garage to my driveway, here are pics after the motor was hung, rigging and wiring 90% completed, new rear doors fabbed out of black plexi.
I also used the original bow rail, it was in rough shape but I cleaned it up, sanded, primed and painted it with white imron. Originally it was an experiment to see if I would like it....and I do !
Also did the rubrail saturday, which although only took a couple hours really changed the appearance of the boat. I need to give Raybo big credit for suggesting I go with this particular rubrail...it was easier to install then the soft rubber I used in the past, and it looks phenomenal.
After I took these pics I wired the GPS/Sounder, VHF, bilge pumps and finished making the last black door for the bow. I'm still waiting on a swtich panel and a new small windshield. If neither of these come by wednesday, I think I'll dunk and run the boat anyway, even if it means running some basic functions of temporary swtiches ! [
