Made some custom starboard step pads for the cap.

Finally got back on her yesterday and this morning. Filled a bunch of screw holes in the console and then started to work on making the plug for the old access doors on the top of the console. I plan on flush mounting the gps/fishfinder, vhf, and stereo for a more modern look.

Finished off the fiberglass, faired it in, and gave it a quick shot of primer to reveal low spots. All out of fairing material so calling it a day.

I just acquired a Seacraft console but mine does not have the same config yours has.
Mine does not have a big "box" on top like yours, but I plan to close up the dash and flush mount the electronics.

Thinking of placing a hatch in the front above the seat to better get to the electronics etc..
It get covered up by the backrest anyways.

My console is a custom one that was installed by the original owner.

Story goes that he was a guide down in the keys and built the boat how he wanted it after getting the bare hull from Mr. Potter as one of the two Master angler hulls that were not included in the sale of the company in 1979. Whether that is true or not, I have no idea.

made a nice little placard to hold the new switch panel. Hope to paint the console early next week and then start the actual rewiring process

Took a couple of weeks off from working on her to house hunt with my wife plus the rains did not cooperate.

Neighbor finished raising the legs on the t-top 4 inches for me. Now starting to sand and spray with self-etching primer to get it ready to paint.

Also, finishing up the prep work on the center console so that I can shoot that in the next couple of days.

Worked on the console yesterday and got it ready for paint. Got up early this morning and got it done before it got too hot to allow the paint to flow.
