Another update. Boat left the paint warehouse last week and went to S-S Marine, t-top fabricators. They did some final measurements and drilled the support holes in the console and drilled and tapped the holes in the plates in the deck. Top goes on tomorrow (Tuesday) so picked the boat up Friday and brought it home to work on her over the weekend. Didn't get a terrible lot done between the heat and the summer showers they we had Sat & Sun, but managed to get some, and get some shots of her outside.
First time she's been home in a long time (notice the new driveway, 230' x 13' wide drive + 60' radius circle + 40' x 30' boat parking went from asphalt to all pavers)
First things first, gotta get the decals on
Couple of glamour shots.
Got the console and the tank hatch screwed in, console has (29) 1-1/2" #12 stainless screws that hold her to the glassed wood pad on the floor. You could probably pick up the boat by it.
Got the forward hatches in and the black trim around the rod holders and anchor locker.
Looking back
One of the holes S-S drilled and tapped, can see the 3/8" aluminum plate in there.
Shot of the stern. Armstrong plate installed. Didn't snap a pic but those hatches are hinged in now, tape was temporary for driving down the highway.
Can't believe how different it looks from the before haha.
That's all I have for now. T-Top installed tomorrow, and you bet I'll have some pics of that. Still got a long list of to-dos to put her back together, the first of which is non-skid, its a death trap right now with any water on the deck.
