Awesome! Glad to hear you're loving yours, hopefully see you out on the water some day along with some of the other CHS SeaCraft enthusiasts.
Not a lot of photographic documentation from this weekend. Probably put in 8 hours or so of work on the boat across Sat and Sunday but it was mostly just grinding away the old stringer lips and getting that area ready for new glass.
Weekend started off with an early end to the work day Friday for our annual site oyster roast. Though I prefer clusters when roasted, but I'm not going to complain when selects show up. I probably ate close to 4 dozen.
Saturday morning I set to the task of cutting out the battery box stringers so I can get that area prepped for the new stringer. LOTS of nasty wet wood.
I had most of it out when the inspector showed up to make sure I was doing it right:
One side done, rinse and repeat for the other:
Farted around here and there but didn't get much else done on Sat, ended up taking the kids out to dinner and then enjoying the evening with wife and neighbors.
Sunday morning woke up slightly hung over, wife had a wedding she had to go shoot, but figured the best way to get rid of it was sweat it out. Got the kids dressed and set up with their ride on toys cruising around the cul-de-sac, suited up, and climbed in the boat with grinder in hand.
Grinding, grinding, and more grinding. This was the only picture I took during, ya'll get the idea. Also the only reason those stringers are still in there is because they give me a place to sit, boat yoga sucks!
A few hours later:
Definitely more grinding to do, but I made a sizable dent. Hoping to take advantage of the holiday week and knock out the rest of the grinding and prep work by the end of the week.
Thanks for looking!
