Well. Got the console filled with instruments. And it's lifted into the boat. Still have the rest of the wiring to do but that will go pretty quick.
Still got some work to do on the floorboards and to finish the nonskid. I want to get everything dry fit before I mark out the waterways for the nonskid.
Hatches are all bolted in. Hydraulic hoses and cables are ordered. Outboard is ready to bolt on.
My wife is a pretty good seamstress and is making new coaming bolsters. We have made them before for our clients powerboat. There is a pic of them coming together in the Google gallery. We painted doorskin to seal it, then ran bolts through and hot glued them in place. Then Joy glued on the nice draining foam. She is in the process of cutting the material to be stapled on. They are going to turn out really nice. And, it goes with the theme of getting the boat back to as close to "classic" as I can (or want..) Besides, when I thought about filling all the holes in the coaming and making it look nice, I figured there was about the same amount of work to make new bolsters!
Still haven't made a final decision on seats. This might wait till we can find a good deal on something. It is going to kill me to put the ratty old green seats we got with the posts back in there... At least just about everything else will be final.
The hope is to have the boat ready for next Wednesday night. First race of the year for the YC and I am supposed to run race committee. We can do it in the YC boat but I would much prefer to show off our restored SeaCraft
