Very well done and thx for your reply. Don’t think I have shot anything since my Devilbiss on all the French doors during our build in 1991 on Hidden River in Palm City. Will share a little transom rebuild info at another time.

Getting closer and closer. Painted the cap and inner transom area this afternoon. Next steps will be to cut a hole in the cap for the live well lid and then make a set of doors for the bilge access.

Made a new set of lids for the side compartments. They are 3/4" starboard so they will be nice and durable plus they sit a lot better than the old 1/2" ones. Will install hinges later today.

Decided to make the access hatch yesterday. Installed it this morning. This really helps the way she looks. Starting to look like a boat again

Your boat is looking good. What year is that 928 in the background, 1981?

The 928 in the background is a 1984. We picked it up as a parts car for my son's 1979. His 79's transmission went bad and we got the parts car for $500. he is swapping the 5 speed from it into his car which was an automatic.

Well, looks like I am not going to meet this goal. Finances dictated not spending the money on a motor earlier in the year so I kind of stopped working on her as diligently. That being said, I am going to mount the bracket this week, then start installing the plumbing for the livewell and maybe even install the electronics. That way once I find a decent engine to hang on her, I can get back on the water right away...
