A little more progress on the Seafari, and a perfect day for boat work.
Installed the window gaskets I received from Big Easy (Thank you again
John!) The old gaskets were a bitch to remove, and I worried about
breaking the glass several times. Some industrious creature had
packed straw behind the old gaskets, and it took quite a bit of time and
blasts from the air compressor to get all the plant fibers out of the frames.
Finished the trailer, scrubbed the decks, installed my newly varnished
wood, a helm chair, decals, the compass, etc etc.
The port bulkhead is nearing completion, and then it'll be time to dive
into getting the cabin sorted out.
Still no motor. I'm being picky and waiting for the right deal.
Have looked at some real junk in the last few weeks, but I'm
sure the right engine is on the horizon.
This is a great boat, and I look forward to getting it in the water
in the not too distant future.
